Hi Dear,

Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.

i completely Understanding your anxiety with this condition.

The black spots you describe in your query is pointing towards condition called post inflammatory hyper pigmentation usually occurs after healing of skin injury .

I would suggest you to apply creams containing hydroquinone , azelaic acid ,vitamine c serum ,suns creams and vitamine E oils. They decrease the discoloration of the skin .Some of then increase the production of collagen fiber which in turn kill the pigmented cells .

Drinking lots of water , diet containing lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits will very helpful.Applying turmeric paste and aloe vera extract will also be beneficial .

If the black spots still presists , then you should consult dermatologist who can suggest you some drugs and techniques like chemical peeling ,microdermabrassion and laser therapy.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
