My younger sister is 23, and she has been dealing with these black spots all over her body for the past two years. She's seen a bunch of doctors, but there hasn't been any improvement. We're really concerned about what to do next. Any suggestions or possible solutions?

To address this issue, I recommend she try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. She can apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, she should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect her skin from further darkening. If there is no improvement after a few weeks of consistent use, she should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
