Hello and thank you for your question. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from previous eczema can be treated with lightening agents such as hydroquinone. However, if you have eczema, I recommend caution when using lightening agents as common side effects include redness, burning, and irritation. If you experience these side effects, they may also cause darkening of the skin. Taking care of your skin to minimize eczema flare will also be beneficial. I recommend consultation with a board certified dermatologist for evaluation of your skin and discussion of appropriate treatment. Best of luck.
The increased pigment is partially caused by thickened skin in those areas. Topical medicines with keratolytic properties such as weak acids can provide some benefit. An over the counter medicine called Amlactin is a good start.
Hi,thank you for the question.For dark underarms you can do peels like glycolic peel which will help in lightening the area.Avoid using hair removal cream for removing hair from this area as sometimes the cream can lead to allergic reactions and darkening of the area.Visit a board certified...
HQ 2% will decrease melanin production and stop the further development of pigmentation it also will allow for the pigment to resolve. HQ should help treat your knees but you should try to avoid trauma and sun exposure to the area. Only use the HQ as directed and no longer than 3 months at a time
