All I can say is my wife, Becky, had this on her upper lip and now it's gone. She did take MSM internally (and still does) and used MSM lotion on her face from time to time (but not every day). It took a while so you might not notice a lot of difference for a few months.
: I have read somewhere that MSM can help cure melasma, the skin condition that cuases your upper lip and other areas of skin to turn brown in sunlight. I read that it can not only clear it up but allow people to be in the sun and not have it return. I suffer from this dreaded skin disease and was wondering if anyone knows anything about this, is it even possible, it could cure this? Has anyone used it for this? Any information on this subject would be helpful. Also, how much to take to cure something like this and how long before you could reasonably expect to see results. Thanks!
