Skin Hyperpigmentation Scarring

Has anyone found effective treatments for skin hyperpigmentation / scarring after skin gets inflamed? This is more common in darker skin tones, where skin tends to drop melanin after an active inflammation phase.

Mary Kay! Believe it or not their products have been amazing - worked and don’t irritate my sensitive skin! They have a tone corrector that helps my scarring and their skin care overall is really good.

I have pigmentation changes and scarring. The light patches are closer to my skin tone in winter, but the color change still there. Licorice topically supposed to help.
