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.
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
