Need Medication For Hypopigmentation

Hi, I have a lot of old scars from hypopigmentation (tinea versicolor). The scars are 3 years old. I m looking for ways to increase pigment without laser. What is your recommendation? The tinea is no longer active. I was told the pigment would return but its been so long. Thanks

Hello,

LASER therapy will be the best option. Consult a dermatologist specialised in cosmetic surgery and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
