Spots on legs, arms, and face. How can I treat them? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I am having these spots that started appearing on my legs and then spread to arms and face. They are extremely stubborn and take months to clear while leaving traces. I am attaching photos of how the spot looked on my leg.

Scars can be temporary or permanent and there are many aspects of scars that can be improved. During your consultation, we look to determine the textural changes, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, scar color, scar contour depth, scar atrophy, inflammation, and scar thickness. Once complete, a HIDEF protocol is established that includes pigmentation protocols to either lighten or darken scar tone, retexturization of scars, inflammatory mediators, lasers, and contour correction. All of these require time and multi-plane correction.

Best,
