Patient's question:
I have chronic hepatitis B () and am currently taking medication. I would like to consult about a layer of melanin deposition on my face, which has been noticed for two years now. I don't know how to get rid of it.Doctor's answer:
The melanin deposits in your face are not significantly related to hepatitis B. Based on your photos, this appears to be just superficial melanin deposition. Currently, if you are taking medication for hepatitis B, you can consult with a plastic and cosmetic surgery department. They can perform laser therapy, which dissolves melanin through laser treatment, allowing the pigment to fade and be metabolized by the blood for whitening. In addition to receiving standard treatment for hepatitis B, patients should also pay attention to care aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should be mindful of choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
