Postinflammatory Hypopigmentation Nair Chemical Burn?
Posted by: Alan in Contact Dermatitis, tags: Burn, Chemical, Hypopigmentation, Nair, PostinflammatoryI had irritant contact dermatitis from a Nair chmical burn on the face and it has caused postinflammatory hypopigmentation “It presents as poorly defined whitening of the skin which is irregular in outline. Often the loss of pigment is partial rather than complete. ” Is there anything I can use or do to help get back the pigment in the skin e.g. creams, treatments at dermatologist, prescription drugs etc… I’m so worried that it might be scarred and no longer able to re pigment I’ve had this for some time first turned out to be a red mark but then loss color in the skin. What are treatments that dermatologists do to fix this and the prices because I don’t have much money and it probably won’t be covered under OHIP.
Thanks to the people that reply, I’m desperate for solutions!

i know an excellent cream for skin burns, surgery scars and also for striae.. its name is Contractubex. you should use this for months depending on the extent of your affected skin, and apply for 4-5 times a day patiently. you can find this from any pharmacy..
i hope you’ll get better soon!

so i dont know if it would work for your specific situation but i dont see why not. you can order Emu Oil online and it says it evens out pigment in skin like for scars and stuff, it explains it better on the website but its worth a try. just google emu oil
