This post inflammatory erythema and hopefully won't progresss to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Best to avoid sun exposure, use bo=road spectrum UV protection and sun block and consider using topical steroid cream. If it does start bronzing, Scler-X and topical Sclerovase creams may help.BestH Karamanoukian MD FACS
