Suggest Treatment To Cure Hyperpigmentation

I had several cortisone injections performed to remove my hyperpigmentalion. Initially, the area injected turned white, then about 6 weeks later the area turned dark brown again. Will this dark brown hyperpigmentation ever go away? Why didn t the cortisone injection work?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of dark skin.
My treatment advice is –

1. Avoid sun-exposure and use a good sun-screen with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojivit twice daily on dark skin.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 30days .
4. Other treatment options are oral isotretinoin, topical hydroquinone and chemical peeling done by a dermatologist.

Thanks.
