How do I get rid of hyperpigmentation marks on my legs due to scratching? (photo)

Doctor's Answers 2

Hi, the PICO laser is useful to get rid of hyperpigmentation at the legs.

Typically, you will need about 5 times to see some lightening, and 10 sessions to see good clearance.

1 time will cost $450 per session
5 times will cost $320 per session x 5
10 times will cost $280 per session x 10

Hi,

You may have underlying eczema if you are prone to recurrent dry and itchy skin. It is important to apply a moisturiser regularly to reduce eczema flares and the tendency to scratch, to prevent new areas of hyperpigmentation.

A course of Q-switch laser treatments will help to lighten the hyperpigmented marks.

Hope this helps!

How can I get rid of dark scaly patches on my back? (photo)

There is significantly uneven skin tone. I would probably advise to do exfoliation. A mix of Chemical peels and topical products for gentle peels would help with the skin tone. Some lasers or light IPL will also help to reduce the discolouration. That should do the trick!

What are the causes and treatment methods for post inflammation hyperpigmentation with hair growth and itching?

The photo is not so clear, but it appears that you may have used too much topical steroids on that patch of skin. This can result in skin thinning (atrophy) and hair growth. You should stop using any topical steroid creams, and use regular moisturisers. I’d strongly suggest seeing a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
