I have hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and have been using Lumacip Plus cream for the past week. How long should I continue using this cream, and can you suggest any oral medicines for hyperpigmentation?
Lumacip Plus is a strong triple-combination cream containing a steroid and hydroquinone. You should use it for no more than 6 to 8 weeks under medical supervision; prolonged use can cause skin thinning or rebound darkening. For oral options, dermatologists sometimes prescribe oral Tranexamic Acid or antioxidants like Glutathione and Vitamin C to help fade pigmentation from within. However, these oral medications require a proper prescription and health evaluation. Please consult your dermatologist to safely transition off the cream and discuss oral alternatives. Additionally, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as sun exposure will worsen hyperpigmentation.
