Suggest Remedy For Black Spots On The Arms
Hi. I am 28 and suffer from a skin condition that has been diagnosed as lichen planus in the past. I am struggling with the black spots that are majorly affecting my trunk, the joints of my arms, forearms, knees and thigh. Can these ever be cured? Can I do something to get rid of the black spots that look like big freckles. It makes my confidence sink! Thanks

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to lichen planus.
I suggest using :
-Antihistamines may be used to reduce itching Phototherapy with ultraviol can also be used to reduce symptoms.
-Steroid creams or ointments can be very effective in reducing inflammation and redness.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
