Hyperpigmentation?

[Deleted member 39641]

im not sure what I have but ive been dealing with this skin for like a year now and it hasn't gone away. my diet is completely clean thanks to my fam, but I still get some acne (1-2 pimples) maybe like once a month. I use sunscreen and retinol daily and basic skincare. I really need help bro this skin is killing my confidence. hygiene is also on point and everything.

You have post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) just exfoliate jfl

simple truth is your just ethnic, your melanocytes have more melanin that doesnt die


and no, no skincare or sunscreen can save it

tretinoin for a few years and hope for the best

 

[spyspy]

laser and phenol peel may or may not help it, so no need to try it for now
But you can try hydroquinone

Use tretinoin, that’s just mild acne

hydroquinone also lightens skin right?

yeah, but only temporarily

Yes, tretinoin is way stronger, and use daily, start with a low concentration

appreciate it bro

I could just continue to use it tho, what are side effects?

nothing more than mild irritation for the average joe, the rest is just fear-mongering
