How To Get Rid Of Hyper Pigmentation?

I am of African descent and recently used Dr. Scholls corn remover on all toes except my big and small toes. The result is that the corns are still very much there, and I have definitely used according to instructions, but to add insult to injury, they are extremely darker. How do I get rid of this atrocious hyper-pigmentation?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hyper-pigmentation which occurs because of increased melanin production by melanocytes. I would suggest you to :-

- Wash the affected area twice a a day and exfoliate once a week .

- Apply betnovate cream twice daily.

- Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 while going outside , so that UV rays will not damage the skin further .

- Apply vitamin E oil at night.

I condition doesn't get better in one month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may recommend procedure like microneedling or chemical peeling depending upon your condition.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
