Retinoids best

You have post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The first, best step is to begin a retinoid program and daily sunscreens. Next, depending on your dermatologist's assessment, a bleaching product might be added. Finally, in the fall, I'd discuss light peels or Silkpeel to fade any stubborn spots.

There are several treatment options for hyperpigmentation (brown spots). Options range from at home bleaching creams and programs to peels in the office. Because of your skin type, you should discuss in person the best approach , with the least risks, for treating your hyperpigmentation.
