Hyperpigmentation after cheminal peel
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.
Maintanence after treatment is the important thing among all as after chemical peel you need to care your skin more than you use to do before. I will give you some suggestions which can give you some relief.
-Mild skin cleansers after peel is advisable
-Avoid going to direct sun if you need to go then please use some some screen lotion.
-Hydroquinone, kojic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, ascorbic acid, azelaic acid, tretinion (retinal) are most commonly used for hyperpigmentation after chemical peels. All of these treatments will fail if the skin is exposed to the sun without adequate sun protection.
Hyperpigmentation is the common thing which happens after chemical peels and it wont last for long time it will eventually go away after some time but above are the treatment mostly used to treat it.
Hope this answers your query. Get back if you have more queries.

Dr. Alekhya,
So if my understanding is correct..this is not a big problem and Hyperpigmentation can go away if i use the any cream like melaglow which has kojic acid.
How long I need to maintain to stay away with direct sun light?
Mostly it is a temporary problem
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the followup.
Mostly it is a temporary problem but it may take 2 months to 2 years to get completely cured. It depends on the person. It is always advisable to go into sunlight with protection to avoid taning in future.
Coming to the cream yes you can use that but dont expect any instant results because it will take time.
Hope this answers your query.

Dr.Alekhya.
