Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

The best medicine for post herpes pigmentation is TIME.

The pigmentation is quite XXXXXXX and beyond the reach of any creams.

The best way forward is to use a sunscreen during sunexposure to prevent further darkening.

However, using Depiwhite doesnt have any harm.

It may have 5-10% beneficial effect.

if you want, you may use it.

I hope I have answered your query?

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask me

thanks and regards
