A retrospective analysis of the management of acne post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation using topical treatment, laser treatment, or combination topical and laser treatments in oriental patients

Abstract: Topical treatment, laser therapy, and combination topical and laser treatments all appear to be effective management strategies for acne PIH in Fitzpatrick types III and IV skin with little complications. Topical agents may be considered as first-line therapy for acne PIH, taking into consideration its effectiveness, ease of use and cost. Combined topical and laser therapy is also effective, and may be considered as second-line treatment.
