Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation of the face should be promptly protected from the sun, usually travel with a sunscreen with an SPF greater than 30 or an umbrella for sun protection, and can be combined with topical medications including retinoic acid cream, glycolic acid drugs, sebum hormone or hydroquinone cream for topical application, combined with topical creams and gels, and chemical peels for a more effective treatment.
Patients’ post-inflammatory facial hyperpigmentation usually resolves within 3 to 6 months. In your daily life, you can help the facial hyperpigmentation to subside by consuming more vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits, such as lemon juice taken with sugar water, thus giving your body enough vitamin C and vitamin E.
