Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I have discoloration on my arms and trunk of my chest, (my abdomen). I was told to try ammonium lactate lotion 12%. It worked for awhile, but now it seems if my skin is immune to it. I was wondering I there any medication that I can get to clear my skin up. I ve tried topicals but they only work to just lighten them.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
