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.
