Would coconut oil and tumeric help cure hyperpigmentation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: There are many causes of hyperpigmentation for systemic disease to sun damage. Treatment for the hyperpigmentation depends upon its cause. I am not aware of any controlled studies showing th benefit from coconut oil on hyperpigmentation.
