Melanin is a pigment that determines skin color; if this pigment is produced excessively or distributed unevenly, the skin darkens and pigmentation occurs. Today, I will thoroughly explain everything from the precise concept of melanin to practical methods for improving it. What is melanin?

Inhibits melanin production itself — Blocks melanocytes from producing pigment Blocking melanin migration — Prevents generated pigment from migrating to keratinocytes Removal of existing pigment — Replaces or directly destroys pigmented keratinocytes All melanin removal and reduction methods introduced below utilize one or more of these three principles. 5 Ways to Remove and Improve Melanin ① Melanin cream (topical product) This is the most basic method recommended by dermatologists. ingredient Operating principle caution Vitamin A (Retinol) Promotes keratinocyte replacement → Removes pigment Do not use in the morning, sun protection is essential.

The procedure to remove a mole is a process that is perceived as a ‘wound’ from the skin’s perspective. Depending on how the aftercare is done at this time, the possibility of red marks, gray marks, and fine scars may vary. In particular, how you create the initial regeneration environment can affect the speed of skin recovery and the extent of scarring. Why is aftercare important after mole removal? Because mole removal involves burning or scraping the skin, damage occurs. The skin recognizes this as a wound and begins to regenerate, which may leave various marks. Some of the most common changes that may occur are: red marks dark gray marks Deep-seated scars Following treatment can help reduce the likelihood of these changes or speed up recovery. The Core Principle of Skin Regeneration: How to Manage Your 'Emulsion' The skin begins to regenerate when it has a protective barrier. When skin is damaged, it needs an environment that protects it from external germs, dirt, and irritants. When it is perceived as safely covered, regenerative and growth factors are secreted and recovery progresses. The pus is not just a secretion, it is part of the regeneration process. The pus that comes out of the wound is a mixture of regenerative substances that the skin produces to heal itself. Therefore, excessive wiping of the pus may delay recovery. Creating an environment where the water is naturally maintained is considered an important management factor in terms of regeneration speed. Precautions when using Duoderm (wet dressing) The role of thin duoderm The thin Duoderm acts as a barrier to protect the wound rather than absorbing the pus. The whitening after attachment can be seen as the process of pus filling up. If you suddenly remove it before the pus has fully accumulated, the newly formed skin may fall off along with it, which may delay recovery. Why Thick Absorbent Dressings May Not Be Suitable Thick sponge-like dressings are intended to absorb pus and may not be helpful in situations where a regenerative environment is needed, such as after mole removal. If the adhesive causes skin irritation, a protective film of petroleum jelly or antibiotic ointment may be used. Why can't you force the sticker off? A scab is a protective device created by the skin itself. Once a scab forms, the skin perceives it as a stable environment and continues to regenerate. But if you artificially remove the scab, The wound may reoccur The playback process may be interrupted. This may increase the risk of pigmentation or scarring. The generally recommended care routine is to wait for it to fall off naturally during the cleansing process. Why two-week care is important after Duoderm and scab removal After about 10 to 14 days, your skin may appear to have recovered on the outside. However, the skin at this stage is still close to being immature. The management points at this time are as follows: Regenerating cream and moisturizing maintenance Minimize strong stimulation UV protection management Exposure to UV rays in particular can lead to pigmentation, so blocking care can be an important variable in the early stages of recovery. Things to keep in mind when washing your face and taking care of your daily routine Immediately after Duoderm removal, the skin appears very fragile. During this period Focus on washing your face with water for the first 1-2 days Afterwards, apply foam cleansing step by step depending on skin condition. Excessive friction or irritation can delay healing. Why recovery patterns may vary depending on the depth of the mole The depth of the mole varies from person to person and mole to mole, and if it is removed deeply, the possibility of leaving a scar may be relatively higher. For deep spots, it is sometimes considered to remove them in installments over time rather than all at once. Due to these differences, even if the same point is removed, the recovery speed and traces will vary from case to case. The course of red marks, gray marks, and pitted marks often varies depending on how the skin perceives the wound and the protective environment maintained. 👇 See reviews from actual users Can people with scars after removing moles on their face be covered with makeup?

At this time, melanin gathers to protect the exposed skin and leaves a color. In other words, pigmentation is closer to a “mark of defense” from the body’s perspective. How pigmentation fades ✔ Relationship between scabs and pigments When you get a wound, a scab forms. A scab is a structure in which platelets aggregate to protect the wound area. If the inflammation was deep after the scab fell off, pigmentation may remain in that area. However, as the skin regenerates, the body decides that it no longer needs this pigment and gradually expels it. However, if the damage is deep enough to reach the lower dermis, complete recovery may be difficult and some may remain. ✔ Understanding with an ink metaphor Pigmentation is similar to ink in a tank. Continue pouring clean water to drain the ink. This process is Skin turnover (regeneration cycle) no see. So the key is two things. Stopping inflammation Moisturizing to allow regeneration to occur Basic conditions for home care 1) Reduce inflammation first If inflammation persists, even the best ingredients can cause irritation.

Summary of usage routines Assuming there is no inflammation, use as follows: morning Vitamin C Vitamin B3 dinner Vitamin C Vitamin B3 retinol Although there are concerns about reduced vitamin C activity, it is better than not using it at all. The amount is enough to cover the entire face if the pigment is all over the face. If it is local, it is sufficient to apply it lightly to the affected area. Expected range Damage to the upper dermis → 90% or more improvement potential Shallow inflammation such as acne → It takes time, but most cases are relieved Deep wounds → 20-50% may remain This difference varies depending on the depth of damage. Options other than home care ✔ Laser toning Weak penetration into the dermis Helps relieve pain when repeated 5 to 10 times ✔ Hydroquinone 2% cream Reduced melanin activity Use thinly only in the evening May fade after 2 to 5 months ✔ Tranexamic acid series drugs Helps block melanin production Long-term use is not recommended Please check the manual Whether or not it is parallel depends on the situation.

Selectively destroy sebaceous glands It is a procedure that is performed.

캐시닥 운영진26.02.03Views 143Likes 0 Misconceptions about steroids, acne medications, athlete's foot medications, and skin medications, and their correct use
Steroids, acne medications, and athlete's foot medications are the most commonly used medications in dermatology, but they are also the most feared. Most misunderstandings stem from viewing side effects as "outcomes" rather than "probabilities" or from missing the context of use (dosage, duration, prescription flow). Steroids, are they really such scary drugs? Steroids quickly control inflammation, itching, and immune response. A very powerful and useful medicine no see. ✔ Principle Steroids are often likened to a 'kitchen knife'. A must-have tool for cooking if used well A tool that can be dangerous if used incorrectly The problem is not the drug itself, but how it is used. ✔ Most common misconceptions “Steroids cause side effects even if you just use them.” → ❌ This is not true. If you consistently receive prescriptions from the same doctor at your regular hospital, it is unlikely that you will use the medication in amounts sufficient to cause side effects. If side effects actually occur Moving between several hospitals at short intervals Without sharing previous prescription history When using strong steroids in a cumulative manner So-called 'hospital shopping' is a major cause of steroid side effects. Is it okay to take oral acne medication long-term? ✔ Antibiotic acne medication (doxycycline, minocycline, etc.) misunderstanding “Eating it for even a short period of time will ruin your body.” actually Intestinal bacterial imbalance (diarrhea, constipation, etc.) is mainly a problem when taken for a long period of time, more than four months a year. If you do not take the medication within the prescribed time after a meal (e.g. 30 minutes after a meal), you may experience nausea or stomach upset. Managing the timing and duration of administration is key. Sebum regulator (isotretinoin) The most important thing to note Risk of birth defects when taken during pregnancy If you are planning to become pregnant, you must wait at least 1 month after stopping taking the medication. Side effects that are often of concern Hepatotoxicity → Rare occurrence Increased cholesterol → When taking large amounts for a long time Realistic scope of use For young, healthy adults, 100 to 120 tablets per year can be administered without major problems. Dry mouth and skin → Most cases are relieved by adjusting the dosage. Additional Notes Recommended for use after age 17 Caution when taking simultaneously with vitamin A series (lutein/vitamin A) Are oral athlete's foot medications really dangerous for the liver? ✔ Starting point of misunderstanding The perception that “oral athlete’s foot medication = liver toxicity” originated from the past ingredient ketoconazole. ✔ Current medications Itraconazole Fluconazole, etc. → Liver problems are very rare. ✔ Based on actual usage For severe athlete's foot or toenail fungus, oral medication is necessary. For young people, it is sufficient to just avoid drinking alcohol while taking it. Liver function tests are recommended every two months for long-term use (normal in most cases). Try topical medication first → If that doesn't work, it's not too late to switch to oral medication. Antihistamines, is it okay to take them for a long time? ✔ Understanding generational differences Generation 1: Severe drowsiness (dangerous while driving) 2nd and 3rd generations: Almost no drowsiness (currently the main focus) ✔ Key Points Among dermatological medications, it is the safest for long-term use. However, it is not a drug that is recommended for indefinite use. If the symptoms are tolerable, you don't have to keep taking it. If you organize it all at once The real danger with skin medications isn't the medication itself, but how you use it. Steroids → Hospital shopping is the biggest problem Acne medication → Managing the duration of use and pregnancy plans is key. Athlete's foot ointment → Past perception and current medication are different Antihistamines → Understanding generational differences is important.
