A member asked:

I need dermatologist advice - i have pigmentation on my face and i would like to know what can be done about it please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depends on the type and extent of pigment. Depends on the type of normal skin. Age? Prior treatment? Pregnancy or hormone pills? Acne? Injury or burn? Exposure to sun, radiation, chemicals. Any illness?
