I've just finished a treatment for lichen planus, and the bumps and itching have stopped, thankfully. However, the marks are still visible, and I really want them gone quicker if possible. The dermatologist mentioned they'd fade over time, but is there anything I can do to speed up the process and get rid of these marks in a few months to a year?

I have a tiny skin tag near my eyes, and it's really bothering me because it's giving me a bit of an inferiority complex. It upsets me every time I see it. I'm really curious if there's a way to remove it, especially since it's so small and in such a sensitive spot.
