Hello Dr P V S Prasad, I am 34 years old ( female ). Apparently I have been suffering from lichen pigmentation for nearly 2 years now. I have visited 3 dermatologists but the problem remains unchanged. The dark patches are not itchy at all. But the problem, it has spreaded to many parts of my body and it is so inconvenient for me. What can I do to get rid of these dark spot and how can I prevent those dark patches from spreading further on my body. Thank you.
Dear Friend Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Charu , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.
I usually advise my such patients to apply moderate potency topical steroid for few days followed by depigmenting agents. Alternatively chemical peeling is one of a very good option. sunprotection is a must.
Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion , I am sure he/she will agree to my opinion. Good Luck.
