Hi doctor, can i know what are the treatments available to cure back melanin spots on skin on legs and hand due to some insects bites few years ago. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sun exposure: UV light exposure is responsible for most of the darkening of scars. Keeping them covered with sun screen will help prevent darkening and visibility of the scars. Low dose topical steroids can sometimes reduce the discoloration as well, contact a dermatologist o discuss this.
