Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of darker skin colour around lips and cheek which are due to post inflammatory hyper pigmentation.The pigmentation is produced by excess production of melanin by melanocytes .

I would suggest you to .

- Wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide twice a days with cold water.

- Exfoliate facial skin once a week to remove dead skin.

- Apply azelaic acid cream both for dark spots and acne twice daily.

- Apply aloe vera gel at night .

If condition persist even after month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , steroid drugs (oral/topical) or isotretinoin. Doctor may also recommend laser therapy or chemical peeling for dark spots .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
