Why does Gentrisone cause painful pimples and dark spots (photo)?

Dark spots or pigmentation on the face can be due to many different causes. Depending on the cause, some conditions may be more likely than others to respond to topical medications and it is good to have a proper diagnosis of the spots or pigmentation in order to know what the best treatment options are for the pigmentation. There are many OTC (over-the-counter products) in the market specifically formulated for skin lightening and it can be difficult to decide which is the best or most suitable for your skin. Many of the OTC creams may contain botanical extracts.

While pico-lasers are pigment lasers used to treat laser responsive pigmentation, pico-laser treatment can induce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which may take several months to resolve. This is especially so when treating darker or tanned skin or if there is significant UV exposure soon after laser treatment. It is best that you see your performing doctor who will probably be in the best position to assess your condition and to determine if the dark spots are side effects of the pico-laser treatment.
