Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation
I am currently taking the sotret 20mg daily for my acne condition. I would like to ask that will that also reduce post inflammatory hyperpigmentation or acne marks present on my skin? Or what else should I do to get clear skin?

Isotretinoin will reduce acne and not pigmentation. Skin lightening products will help you reducing marks. Kindly consult for better diagnosis and management.
