How can I treat the skin patches on hand and forehead?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am having the patches on hand and near the forehead. This has been for the last 3 to 6 months. Had psorasis earlier that was cured. What do I do for these kinds of patches on the skin? Is it serious? Kindly help me with medication to provide a solution.

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

I have gone through your case. In my opinion, you are having different types of lesions on your face and arms. For the face lesion, apply Clindamycin gel two times a day only on the raised red lesion. Lesion around the eye may take a longer time to heal. Brown lesion on arms is due to sun and dryness. Please regularly apply a sunblock lotion with SPF 40 or above to prevent furthermore lesions. These are called lentigines. For dryness use E45 lotion.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always reach me at icliniq.com.

The Probable causes

The probable cause is sun exposure for brown arms lesions.
