Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation
I have a post inflammatory hyperpigmentation on my face that connects to my dark circles. It looks like I have a eye patch, its so pigmented. The pigmentation looks like sharp boxes to describe its shape. I overused zincoderm 10 years ago and I think I have been having this since then, it wasnt there for some years but recently after I did a chemical peel I feel like it has become worse. What cream can I use for this and what supplements should I take?

Hi there.
A more detailed history/information will need to be provided together with some clear digital pics for a proper evaluation and treatment plan to be chalked out.
Presence of lesions in close contacts and other details like any co morbidities etc will also need to be checked
Some Lab tests may also aid in diagnosis and intervention plans.
Don't worry it appears to be easily sorted and recommend an 📥 consultation or Online Consultation to take this forward.
Good Luck & Godspeed 🙏

Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and that too this long standing might be stubborn to treatment. Will need a consistent routine for some time to reduce its intensity. Will need photographs and better history for a treatment that’s tailored to you.
