Answered by Dr. Sudhir (1 hour later)

Hello XXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.

I would be able to help you better if you can give me a few more details.

Are there few spots of pigmentation?
What all body parts are involved (apart from the hands and the legs)?
Have you already taken any medication for it? If yes, can you please specify?
Was it preceded by some trauma or acne or something?

Awaiting your reply.

Regards.

Hello,

If these are symptom-less pigmentation patches, then you can give try hydroquinone cream like BRITE at night. This cream can help to fade pigmentation.

And if it fails to show results then it would be desired to see a dermatologist in person.

Regards.
