Dermatologist,  's  Response
hello,

It seems you have developed PIH (Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) due to pimple. I usually suggest this regimen for my patient

1. regular use of sunscreen gel (not cream or lotion as you are prone to pimples) three times in morning ( 9 am, 12 noon, 3pm)
2. use a combination of hydroquinone and tretinoin in night( will help in both pigmentation as well as prevent new pimple formation)

You can combine this treatment with chemical peels (glycolic acid peels) every fortnightly to get faster and better results

Thanks

Dr Jyoti Gupta
