Post-Inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) refers to the dark spots that may be left behind after an acne lesion, breakout, or other inflammatory skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis. Wounds from abrasions or scars from an injury can also heal with this type of discoloration. Depending on skin tone, the color of the dark spots associated with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may be brown, black, red, pink, or purple. During the natural healing process of the skin, there is potential that skin cells involved with healing the area are also contributing to the overproduction of melanin, leading to the development of the hyperpigmented regions of the skin. Although this hyperpigmentation may fade gradually over time, it’s more effective and efficient to have treatment with a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green in New York.
