Hi, Thanks for writing in.  Hyperpigmentation can be due to postinflammatory changes. Sun exposure can aggravate pigmentation. Keeping the sun protection is important to treat hyperpigmentation. Use sunscreen with SPF 50.  My advice to you would be to use steroid based cream with moisturizer. Few treatments like microdermabrasion and fractional CO2 laser can help to spot effectively.  Consult a good dermatologist who can provide you with these options along with effective oral prescription medicines. Lichen amyloidosis is treatable. It will not have bad effect on married life. Hope this helps. Regards Chat Doctor.
