Hi Thanks for your query.
You have what is known as PIH or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
1. Sunscreen and sunprotection- this forms the absolute cornerstone of management. You need to be on this for the duration of any treatment .
2. Apply a kojic acid cream for at least 8 weeks.
3. Chemical peels such as glycolic acid can help. You will need 4-7 treatments over the next few months.
4. Vitamin A such as tretinoin can help.
The best treatment is a combination of the above.
