Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation after a chemical peel can be resolved with a combination bleaching cream such as tri-luma cream at night time sparingly. Usually a few light jessners solution or 10% tca peels every 2 weeks helps speed up the recovery as well. Most patients will do both the light peels and the bleaching cream. It can take as little as 4 weeks or 3-4 months to resolve and fortunately it almost always does resolve nicely but never soon enough.

Good Luck,
