Post-Inflammatory Hypopigmentation
Post-Inflammatory Hypopigmentation is a skin condition that occurs after an inflammatory event, such as a rash, injury, or infection. It is characterized by lighter patches of skin where the inflammation has healed, resulting from a decrease in melanin production in the affected area.
This condition can affect individuals of all skin types and is more noticeable in those with darker skin. While Post-Inflammatory Hypopigmentation is generally harmless and may improve over time, treatments like topical creams or laser therapy can help restore skin color in some cases.
