A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hyperpigmantation: A variety of topical treatments have been used to treat epidermal postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, with varying degrees of success. These agents include hydroquinone, tretinoin cream, corticosteroids, glycolic acid (ga), and azelaic acid. Lightening of hyperpigmented areas may be achieved with one of the previously named topical agents; however, a combination of topical creams works best.
