How long does it take for post inflammatory erythema (PIE) to fade?

Doctor's Answer

It takes about 6 months but can be longer if you tend to flush easily!

Try taking oral antioxidants, strictly use sunblock daily and if your skin can take it, topical differin and vitamin C can help too.

If it is taking too long, we do the excel v vascular laser and/or picosure laser to clear the marks. Takes about 2-3 sessions for good outcome!
