Understanding Skin Pigmentation and Peeling

• Skin peeling can lead to pigmentation changes, often resulting in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Role and Limitations of Triluma Cream

• Triluma cream contains hydroquinone, tretinoin, and fluocinolone, which help reduce pigmentation. Pigmentation may return after stopping due to underlying causes not being addressed.

Long-Term Management Strategies

• Consistent skincare and sun protection are crucial. Consider maintenance treatments to prevent recurrence.

Alternative and Adjunctive Treatments

• Explore other topicals like azelaic acid or kojic acid. Procedures such as chemical peels or laser therapy may be beneficial.

When to Consult a Dermatologist

• Seek professional evaluation for persistent pigmentation. A dermatologist can provide a tailored treatment plan.

General Skin Care Tips

• Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers. Avoid irritants and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
