Question by Lindsey: Discolored Skin from Contact Dermatitis?
Instead of darker skin though, the spots where i had the rash are lighter.
Can i tan to get rid of these?
I have pretty dark skin, and i’m still in treatment with the rash.
It was due to allergies, and they gave me steroid cream to use for two weeks

Answer by zitdr_02 You have two reasons for having the lighter spots: the first one is “post-inflammatory hypopigmentation”, which frequently occurs after an inflammatory event, such as a dermatitis. In this sort of situation, the pigment granules are still being made, but the dermatitis is inhibiting the transfer of the granules from the pigment cells to the epidermal skin cells, and hence, the cells are arriving at the surface of the skin with less than a normal load of pigment granules. This situation will revert to normal, some time after the dermatitis has cleared. In addition, you are using a steroid cream, which also leads to blanching of the skin from having the blood vessels under the dermatitis become constricted. This condition will also heal up, once the cortisone is stopped.
