Hello, the pigmentation due to lichen planus is darker, deeper and stubborn. It improves a little with topical creams but may require further procedures to take care of it. Creams are able to reduce the superficial pigment. Lasers target the deeper pigmentation. So a combination of creams, peels or lasers may give better results. Pls follow the advice of your dermatologist and plan for procedures if you feel like it, to get more appreciable results. Please follow sun protection measures strictly as the pigmentation can worsen with sun exposure. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours if out in sun.
