Hi,

It's really hard to treat this. The inflammation does a few things and these have slightly different treatments but have to be done by professionals with equipment and experience. One is that inflammation causes pigment. This is tricky because the treatment causes inflammation like the original and often causes MORE pigment with the MORE inflammation. Another cause of pigmentation is bleeding into the deep parts of the skin causes deposition of blood pigment like a tattoo (which is treatable with tattoo removal methods). This is why some people get tattoos, by the way.

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

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
