Are you saying that using Retin A helped clear the discoloration on the neck? Would love to try if you think it works?

Dermatologist diagnosed Poikiloderma of Civatte, said it was caused by sun damage and there was no treatment or cure. Was already using Retin A on face and knew it was supposed to help sun damage ... so I started putting it on my neck too. Itching disappeared in a week or 2. Skin discoloration started going away in a month or 2. Gone for years until I started sun exposure again.... am using my current Renova, but not working as well as Retin A did a decade ago.

I began to notice a red patch on my neck. It burns and seems to get more irritated after I shave, even if I only do it twice a week. I recently found out that it is Poiklioderma of Civatte. Does anyone have this and if so, are there any good results from topical solutions? I've heard that "Intense Pulse Light" is the main but quite expensive. My dermatologist wasn't very encouraging about a cure and this has been very depressing, because I live with the pain of the rash and the poor appearance of it daily.
