The pink spots turned brown, is this permanent?

Question

I got a TCA cross from my dermatologist 50% 2 weeks ago and the scars turned pink, then i went to a theme park, where it was hot and stayed there for around 6 hours, but i applied sunscreen in the morning and wore my cap the entire time. The pink spots seemed to turn BROWN. Is this permanent?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is difficult to answer without pictures. Hyperpigmentationcan be improved with a combination of Cosmelan, lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Does sound predictable - especially with sun exposure, BUT pigmentation can be decreased ASAP with gentle peels, HQ and other treatments. See your Specialist ASAP to get things started.. and don't forget SPF++++++++++ all the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
