Hi, Probably You would have developed post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which will take a while to fade. Use skin lightening agents followed by sun protection. Kindly meet a board certified dermatologist or a cosmetic surgeon to guide you on the swelling. Remember derma roller is safe under a medical supervision. Good luck.

Follow your dermatologist advice. HQ and CS ointments in addition to SPF and sun avoidance. Do NOT aggravate your condition by placing more topicals or procedures. Time will heal. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
