Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation due
I recently undergone TCA peel
Usually I don't see any side effects. However last time and this time as the skin of nostrils's healed area peeled our prematurely area was looking reddish. I wasn't aware that it'd turn dusky as long as post entire peeling of skin over face nostrils's area turned little dusky. I was concerned so I was using demelan cream by doctors consultation which helped me to disappear reddishness, however the area turned discolored compared the colour of skin. Now I'm concerned about how should I handle this post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which is visible at couple of spots on my face. Please help. Thanks.

Demelan will help in those spots too.. sometimes over use of peels without healing the previous peeled skin can cause PIH. Nothing to be worried about it eventually resolves with time. Do apply sunscreen regularly.
