I've been dealing with these lichen planus spots for about 8 months now, and they just don't seem to be fading. They're primarily on my ankles and inner arms. Do these marks ever really go away?

What's the best way to change skin from dark to white medically? I've heard about laser treatments and cosmetic surgery but not sure which one works better or is safer. Are there any side effects I should know about?
It's important to understand that medically altering skin tone to become lighter is a complex issue. While laser treatments and chemical peels can be effective in lightening specific areas of hyperpigmentation, they don't fundamentally change your skin's natural color. Additionally, cosmetic surgery, particularly dermabrasion or laser resurfacing, can be used to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone but can also have risks and side effects.
