hi doctor. I have been getting pimples lately. It leaves a dark spot and I am not able to get rid off them. I know it will eventually go away, but I have my brother’s wedding coming in few weeks and I am kind of paranoid about the dark spots.. any suggestions pls. Thanks
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Your main concern is Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) which is a common complication of inflammatory acne If I was the treating doctor I would suggested you to use either a demelanizing cream containing one or more of the following ingredients like Azaleic acid, Kojic acid, hydroquinone, arbutin etc You may also opt for a few sessions of chemical peeling from your dermatologist e.g glycolic peeling is specially useful for PIH and together with topical treatment would hasten the resolution. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region. Your dermatologist will be able to assess your concern properly and and advice accordingly.
Regards
