What makes and get rid of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healing: The real question is what not to do that slows down healing. Avoid using alcohol, peroxide, hibiclens, betadine, and bleach solutions. Inflammation ( red, hot, swollen, tender) is important to healing so anti-inflammatories (motrin, advil) are bad. Cover the area with a clean dressing changed every other day and protected from trauma. The hyperpigmentation is normal and will fade a bit in time.
