Hydroquinone: 4% Hydroquinone is the one we usually prescribed. Tri-Luma cream is the most popular. The efficacy depends individually.
Metasone ointment is a relatively high potent cortisone ointment, not safe for areas above neck, skin folds, genitalia.

Yes: This can be very troublesome. I had herpangina and this was the worst aspect of the illness (lasted for months), and many people have it much more severely. If no cause (hormones, meds, GI reflux, xerostomia / sjogren's) is found, a good multivitamin may help. Topical anesthetics and lozenge Clonazepam are used & sometimes it resolves by itself.

How can I help my discoloration on my skin?

Depends upon cause: Address what's causing the disocoloration first. If its acne, address that. Short term use of hydroquinone (prescription) may help even skin color, but many times simply taking better care of the skin (addressing the disease process causing the discoloration, hydrating the skin as well) takes care of this.

Scalp lesion: I advise you to see a dermatologist, from what you said it could be a fungal infection of the scalp.
