Hello, I am a 41 yr old African American female that is experiencing facial hair around the chin area. I have had a couple of laser removal treatments and it help with removing the hair. I haven t had any in about 4 months but I notice that I an getting dark spots in the areas where the hair is located. The dark spats tends to be hard and scabby. What can I do to help with this problem that I am having?
Hi, These areas of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scab formation could be due to laser burns. The chances of pigmentation after lasers is higher in candidates with darker skin type. If the spots are not too dark, you may apply steroid cream for few days to lighten pigmentation. If they are too dark, you may use a HY Chat Doctor.  Use a good sunscreen on daily basis. Hope that answers your query.
