View allI've been dealing with LPP on my neck, face, and limbs for over a year now, and it just seems like it's getting worse. My face has become really dark, and even though there are no lesions, it looks like severe hyperpigmentation. I'm using sunscreen daily and have been undergoing phototherapy for the past two months with 600mg NBUVB, but it doesn't seem to be helping. In fact, my pigmentation is getting darker, and my skin is so dry that it feels like I can see wrinkles forming. Is there a home remedy or any treatment that can help improve my complexion and skin condition without side effects? Also, should I be applying sunscreen when I go jogging in the morning from 7 to 7:30 AM, especially since my doctor advised me to avoid the sun? Any advice would be appreciated!
I recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of adding topical medications such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, or corticosteroids to your treatment regimen to help improve the pigmentation. In terms of home remedies, you can consider using natural ingredients like aloe vera, vitamin C serums, or licorice extract which may help in brightening the skin tone. However, these remedies may not be as effective as prescription medications. It is crucial to continue using sunscreen, even during your morning jogging from 7 to 7:30 AM, as sun exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours if you are outdoors. If you are concerned about dry skin and wrinkles, you can use a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid or ceramides to help hydrate the skin and improve its texture. For further improvement in complexion and skin condition, you may also discuss with your doctor about chemical peels or laser treatments that can help in reducing hyperpigmentation and rejuvenating the skin.

I've got these lipomas all over my body, mostly on my hands and stomach. Some of them are painful while others aren't. I've talked to a local doctor who suggested surgery, but I'm wondering if there's another treatment option I should consider. Also, should I be seeing a specialist for this?

Can you help me out with getting rid of my tan? The color of my face and inner body doesnt match my hands at all. My sisters wedding is in April, and I really want to look my best. I've tried a bunch of creams from ads but none of them seem to be working.
