[|Human|] e guttate psorasis and have been using fluocinonide with great success. The only problem is that instead of the small read patches where my psoraisis once was, I am now left with pale spots that look like scars. They are not raised though. My dernatologist says that  they are just areas that did dot tan when I had psorasis. I tried tanning 2 times to speed the process but realized it wasnt safe. Anyways, these seem like areas that just did not get tan, but when I apply self tanner to these areas, they still remain pale. Are these spots permanent scars?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand from your query that you had mutate psoriasis which has now healed and left marks. This is called as post inflammatory hypopigmentation. Do not worry, These spots will gradually get back their normal color in a few months time. Do not use any tanners or other irritants as psoriasis could get triggered on skin which is traumatized. You could just expose to sunlight without applying any tanners. You could also apply a little mineral oil before exposing to sunlight. Hope this helps you. Take care.
