Post inflammatory: Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a common and normal response during the healing process. When traumatized skin heals, redness, followed by dark discoloration often occurs. With time, the site will usually resume normal coloration to match the surrounding skin. Hypoallergenic noncomedogenic soaps and moisturizers may help (check the sensitive skin section of the pharmacy).

Can eczema start in your late 50s or early 60s? I read online that eczema starts in your 20s or earlier. I am almost 61 and have red, flaky, non-itchy spots on my face for the first time ever. I've always struggled with acne.
