Will Biocorneum help reduce hyperpigmentation around scar from allergic reaction to surgical tape? (Photo)

June 5, 2015
Asked By:Wehaveliftoff in Hermosa Beach, CA

I have attached a photo at 2 week Post-op with visible hyperpigmentation from surgical tape allergy. I am now 3 weeks post-op, my incisions are healed and look great, however the skin around looks terrible. I purchased Biocorneum from my PS for the scars. Will Biocorneum also help the pigment or will I have to combine it with Hydroquinone to it help fade? (Filipino skin)
