Suggestion Of Advise For Blemishes On Skin
Hello. I am African American female age 38. I have facial hair in the entire neck area. I tweeze them out because it is embarrassing as it continues to grow. This leaves dark blemishes on my skin that can be seen easily because I am very light skinned. Any suggestions to my problem?

Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I would keep a possibility of Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.
If I was the treating doctor I would have advised you to use a cream containing one or more of the skin lightening agents e.g kojic acid, hydroquinone etc for a few days.
Of course, it is advised to never do the tweezing again, to prevent further pigmentation, rather you can go in for Laser hair reduction for effective results.
