A member asked:
Is post-inflammatory hypopigmentation common after poison ivy rash? permanent? if not, how long to go away? any cosmetic treatment options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: especially if you had scratched the area heavily. I would give it at least 3 months to see if the pigment would return before doing anything about it since the chances for repigmentation is quite good.
