Silicone, sun, laser: Silicone gel may help as well as avoidance of sun and tobacco use. Laser or ipl may help but are not definitive and may require a trial. Minimizing inflammation to prevent hyperpigmentation with steroids or salicylic acid may help for some but should be prescribed by your dermatologist.
