Suggest Treatment For Lichen Planus Pigmentosus
I have lichen planus pigmentosus and have been prescribed Dermovate for 5 days and Prednison for 14 days + (10mg per day) + sunscreen. I had been put on Quinoric for my rheumatoid arthritis which appeared to quicken this. How can I speed up the clearing of the greying.

Hi,
Dermovate is a topical steroid, it will cause depigmentation. You can use sunscreen cream. You can't get rid of hypo pigmentation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
