A member asked:

How do i (cost efficiently) correct hyperpigmentation on the neck caused by a ringworm infection that healed 3 months ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hyperpigmentation: i think I would give it some more time to heal and see if it lightens on its own. You can get some bleaching agents to do this but they may cause problems with still healing skin. Time to see a Dermatologist.
