Talk to Dermatologist on Brown Patches On Forehead
Asking for Self, Male, 21 years old, Lahore
Doctor diagnosed it as Actinic Lichen planus. I have this condition for 18months. I have get myself checked by 2 famous dermatologists in Lahore. Unfortunately, there treatments didn't helped me. I used. I dont remember previous prescriptions. Thou the most recent ones are Hcq200(about 6 months) Clobevate(3 months) Lumexa(6 months). Please help me, it affects my self confidence. Let me know if there is a cure for this disease. Doctors didn't asked me to get myself tested. So i have no lab reports. None of my siblings or parents have this condition. No evidence in other relatives as well
The lesions don't look like of Actinic Lichen Planus but clinical examination and careful history from the patient is the clue.
In any case completely avoid exposure to direct and indirect sunlight is desired. Perhaps keep wearing a P-cap during the day time when out of the building.
Regards
this is dermal pigmentation that is deep and can only be treated with oral anti oxidents like cap Thiocell 500mg once daily for 6 months and sunblock. hcq can increase pigmentation

Dr. Faryal Thanks for your response. For a further brief history,18 months ago, these lesions were white and ITCHY and my exposure to sunlight was high. After some weeks, it turned dark brown.
Kindly, let me know if there is a possible side effect of this medication, and i hope its safe to use.
Secondly, do i need to apply any topical for these lesions? If there is one, suggest me

That settles it then. You have post inflammatory hyperpigmentation secondary to some skin lesions that you had about 18 months ago. This post inflammatory pigmentation is made worse by chloroquine and steroidal creams and exposure to sunlight.
Believe me if you cover your forehead like I said in my previous comments, your pigmentation will go away by itself in few months time without using any medication.
