What is the best treatment for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in Singapore?

Doctor's Answer

Thank you for your question. I agree with Dr Ethan, your diagnosis is PIH ( Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). This happened as a result of your abrasion which is an injury to your skin.

Your options include

1. Medical grade lightening creams, hydroquinone based

2. QS ND Yag laser toning at 2 weekly intervals. Your PIH will improve over the next 6 months.

3. Watchful waiting. With time and sun protection, this improves.

Hope this helps!
