Vitamin E ointment can be applied to aid skin repair and gradually lighten hyperpigmented spots. Additionally, patients may use hydroquinone cream, aloe vera, or other topical agents to accelerate the fading of melanin. Patients should take care to protect the affected skin from sun exposure and avoid prolonged sunlight exposure to prevent worsening of pigmentation. In daily life, maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins is recommended.
