Skin transplant for lichen planus
I'm diagnosed with LPP for past 8 years and my face has become very dark due to this. Have dark skin tone. Is it possible to get fairer skin transplant only for face and neck?

Transplanted skin is usually 1 shade darker than normal skin or it could be red.
There are also some non surgical medications that may help you get the colour back.
Please attach reports and images and consult online should you wish to try medications.
