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'm experiencing some irritation on my face after using Faiza beauty cream from Poonia Brothers in Pakistan for about a week. I'm thinking about stopping it, but I'm wondering if I should use a different cream to help with the irritation. What would you recommend?

To remedy the irritation caused by the Faiza Beauty Cream, stopping its use was the right step. Focus on gentle skincare, moisturization, and soothing remedies like aloe vera. If the irritation persists, seek advice from a dermatologist for further care.
