A dermatologist froze off some brown/yellowish sun/age spots from one of my cheeks about 40 days ago. The area the liquid nitrogen touched looks much darker now. In place of small scattered spots, I now have a continuous solid dark patch stretching wide. They are so prominent now given the size and color. I used the triple topical cream containing Fluocinolone, hydroquinone, tretinoin a few times but it irritated my skin and turned it red. So I stopped. How can I treat the PIH from Cyrosurgery?

Answer: Hyperpigmentation after Cryosurgery To properly answer your question it would be very helpful to know your skin type. it is more difficult to lighten post inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin individuals. Also, I would like to know the percentages of each of the ingredients of the triple bleaching cream that you were given and what you were washing your skin with. Are you using a moisturizer? Which one?there are many skin lightening products that can work with time. Some have hydroquinone or kojic acid alone or in combination. Others have that same combination with higher doses of hydroquinone. Tretinoin may be added to hydroquinone and a topical steroid such as triamcinolone can also be an effective addition.Whatever your skin type is it will take time to get good results.
