Products for hyperpigmentation on arms

2 replies

Itstoday · 16/05/2024 10:32

About 2 years ago I suddenly got a lot of hyperpigmentation spots on my arms. I think this coincided with perimenopause/starting HRT.

After my second pregnancy I very suddenly got vitiligo on my face, chest and back. That has settled and I use dermatica which has vastly improved things. My skin does seem to respond negatively to hormonal changes though.

I would like to find something to use on my arms to try and reduce the appearance of the hyperpigmentaion but every product seems to be for the face rather than body.

Do I need to go and see a dermatologist or is there something I can try that I can buy.

Thanks

Dermamelan and Cosmelan can be used on the body as well as face. On the body, the results are less dramatic and the peel might need to be repeated a few times. A good clinic will be able to advise and perform the treatment.
Wishing you all the best

Wear spf on your arms until you get it figured out. Best to stop it happening in the first place
