Hyperpigmentaion: Some rash tend to leave pigmentation even acne. Treatment could be challenging. Dark colored skin takes longer time to resolve. Some of the measures are using UV protection using sunblock spf30, trying hydroquinone crm, retinoid, cortisone and chemical peeling and laser treatment. It is better to be treated under the guidance of dermatologist.
