1. Sun protection, this article is very important! Avoid direct sunlight! Because pigmentation is most afraid of sunlight. Sunlight exposure or excessive exposure to X-rays and ultraviolet rays can promote pigmentation and aggravate it. Even fluorescent lamps for indoor lighting can aggravate pigmentation by stimulating ultraviolet rays, so it can be considered that pigmentation is a physical damage skin disease. Sunlight can increase melanin activity, resulting in the increase of melanin content in the basal layer of epidermis and the formation of pigmentation. In summer, with sufficient sunlight, pigmentation activity is frequent, the number of spots increases, the color deepens and the damage becomes bigger; in winter, with less sunlight, the number of spots decreases, the color becomes lighter and the damage shrinks. It can be seen that sunlight is a necessary factor for the occurrence of pigmentation, so patients should try to avoid prolonged sunlight, especially in summer.
2.Prevent various kinds of ionizing radiation, including various kinds of glass-shell display, fluorescent lamps, X-ray machines, ultraviolet irradiators and so on. These undesirable stimuli can produce similar consequences as strong sunlight irradiation, and even greater damage than sunlight irradiation, which results in the aggravation of pigmentation.

Take a large amount of vitamin c orally, 1~3g per day, or vitamin c 2g by injection. Vitamin c can reduce the darker oxidized pigment to lighter reduced pigment and reduce dopaquinone to dopa, thus inhibiting the formation of melanin.
2.Topical treatment
Topical topical application is more effective when combined with oral medicine. 3%~5% hydroquinone cream, 2.6 tert-butyl-p-phenol cream, 10%~20% hydroquinone monophenylether cream and 3% hydroquinone monopropionate, topical topical application can be effective.
