Patient's question:
Legs got bitten by mosquitoes in summer, scratched with hands until bleeding, formed scabs, left black or red marks, quite a few, some marks have been there for years, some are new this year, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hyperpigmentation is usually caused by inflammation. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. As long as the inflammation subsides, the hyperpigmentation will gradually disappear without special treatment. If there is persistent hyperpigmentation, appropriate physical therapy methods can be used, such as melasma. These physical methods typically involve options like lasers, such as fractional lasers, picosecond lasers, or topical medications, for local depigmentation.
