Question

I'm dealing with this issue where my palm is getting darker, and a dermatologist mentioned it's hyperpigmentation. I've already tried medications from two different specialists, but it hasnt helped at all. I used to stay up really late for about 6-7 years, around 12 years ago. Im also a vegan. Could any of these be related to whats going on with my skin? I'm really curious about what else I can do to sort this out.

Hyperpigmentation of palms occur because of various causes like deficiency of vitamin B12, Addison's disease , malabsorption syndrome etc. So you need some investigation to exclude these conditions. Meet a dermatologist. Start vitaminB12 supplements.
