Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a skin condition that occurs in individuals with darker skin tones as a result of inflammation or injury to the skin. One of the key differences between PIH in darker skin individuals compared to those with lighter skin is the increased risk of developing darker and more persistent pigmentation. Darker skin tones have more active melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin, and are more likely to experience prolonged hyperpigmentation as a result of inflammation or injury to the skin.

It’s important to note that treating PIH in darker skin individuals requires caution, as some treatments that work well in lighter skin may cause further hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation in darker skin tones. If you suffer from PIH and are looking for a safe and effective treatment plan, schedule a consultation with one of our physicians today 💗✨
