@ddb77 DSAP runs in the family. My mother and sister had it. Ive discussed it with my GP. She prescribed the Lovastatin/Cholesterol Cream after I researched it. Ive also been on DSAP (dot) net before. Both upper surfaces of my forearms had the spots, mostly exacerbated by years of sun exposure. It was also examined by a Dermatologist who confirmed the DSAP. I had possibly 10-12 lesions on each arm. It became more noticeable when I tried a GLP-1 course, which I stopped after 2 months. The side effects weren't worth the minimal weight loss. My GP agreed. So I started experimenting with higher end lotions and the B5+ was noticeably different, and better. You only need a pea size drop on each arm usually twice a day. I supplement with a high-quality SPF 70 if Im going to be outside.

Were your spots pigmented brown at all? I don't have redness, but mine start as a dark freckle and hyperpigment into a cluster which look like large muddy freckles. Does the B5 just smooth the surface or lessen the pigment? Currently i'm experienceing smoothness and gradual loss of pigment from the lesions using the Lovastatin. It's the only treatment that affects the mevalonate pathway which is what the mutation affects.
