My daughter has burn mark on hand since coffee spills when she was just 15 days old. Now she is 18 years old. I took her to a plastic surgeon. He gave intra lesion injection of kenacort once only.After two months her skin color changed (hypopigmentation) in the injected spot. Now it is about 4 months. No repigmentation occurs. Any remedy please?
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Local Hypopigmentation is a common complication of Intralesional Steroid Injections, specially if the infection was administered too superficial. Hypigmentation is usually part of accompanying skin atrophy and is more apparent in darker skin tones. However, this is reversible over a period of time. Re-pigmentation can be hastened by topical use of Tacrolimus ointment, an Immunomodulator. Tacrolimus is a prescription drug and therefore I suggest you to talk to a dermatologist for a review of the condition as well as for the needful.
