How to treat PIH after 25% TCA peel on Indian skin? (Photo)

This can be improved with a combination of 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

PIH is a process that is quite common after surgery. Known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, PIH can make your scars look far worse than they should be. We can develop PIH after acne scars and after surgery, particularly if you have darker complexions. In clinical practice, we always begin with application of Melarase AM and Melarase PM creams (coupled with Melapads) to help smooth out the color and pigmentation. Once the creams are started, lasers can be used to further reduce the scarring.

The MOST important thing is sunscreen and lots of it. 3-4 times a day. Time will help. To speed things up use a combination of HQ bleaching cream and lasers. See a dermatologist. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
