I'm dealing with lichen planus pigmentosus and have been for about two years now. Its still pretty active because I keep noticing new pigmentation, especially on my hands. I've got it on my face, neck, and arms too. I tried phototherapy, but it just made things darker, so I stopped that. I've been using Pynormax Tx Depiwhite on my face and neck, and Hydroquinone 5% solution on my hands. I'm also taking Xamic 500mg daily. How long can I keep using all these without worrying about side effects? And with the condition still active, would Glycopeel be a good option for my face and neck?

I've had vitiligo for 12 years with white patches on my hands and feet. I've tried medications like Melanocyl and currently take Trioxsalen tablets, Trimop forte, and Betamethasone sodium phosphate tablets. Is there a faster, more permanent solution through surgery? What kind of surgery would work and where can I get it done?

Surgical options like melanocyte transplantation or grafting may help stable vitiligo. Check centers like AIIMS, PGIMER, or private dermatology clinics.

I'm trying to figure out if the Adapalene and Clindamycin cream I've been using for my acne has any steroids in it. Specifically, I'm curious about Deriva CMS gel. Can you let me know if it's considered a steroid cream?

Deriva CMS is not a steroid cream.

Hey, I'm a bit curious and maybe a little worried too. Can I use Venusia cream on my face if I'm also applying an anti-aging serum and face powder? I'm just trying to make sure my skin routine is safe and effective. Would love your advice!
