But there become black colour and Am used some skin care creme like scarfix .... . Now almost 5month over . Today one of my friend suggested me to use Skinlite creme . Is it effective or what else i can use
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. After reading your query I can make out the possibility of "post inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation" which we simply call as PIN. It is the normal usual outcome of bit deeper injury. As we know that our skin contains the color giving cells known as melanocytes. So any time if these are activated by any injury or related thing, these produce more of color, giving rise to pigmented mark. For the betterment you are asking to use "Skin lite" cream. I think it is not a good idea to use this cream as self-medication as it contains retinoid in it which can further irritate the skin and then steroid also which can produce its own side effects. Moreover, it is not over the counter medicine to be used. It would be better to consult a dermatologist to reduce the pigmentation. You should have patience of multiple months to get the mark reduced by safer treatment options of other medications under dermatological guidance. Hope it helps. Get well soon, Chat Doctor.
