Hi. As per your case history you are having post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojivit twice daily on affected skin. 3. Other treatment options are topical hydroquinone and chemical peeling done by dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
