<human>: Hello, I get hyper pigmentation on my skin in form of red pink dots whenever I remove hair from arms or legs. It s really irritating me cos it looks bad. I visited dermatologist but he just suggested me to use steroid after hair removal. One more thing, my underlegs are very dark and I think they are highly pigmented. I also wax there. Please tell me what to do to get my normal skin color back. Reply ASAP.
<bot>: Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. The dark pigmentation you are referring to is called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is very common after procedures like hair removal. I would suggest you to apply a cream containing HY Chat Doctor. The red-pink dots you develop after hair removal is called dermatitis which can be due to the hair removal products. For that the best option is to apply a mild steroid like mometasone and juridic acid combination cream for 4-5 days every time after hair removal process. Hope the answer was useful. Thanks
