    Hyperpigmentation from tattoo removal
    How do I get rid of this hyperpigmentation caused by tattoo removal? Besides bleaching creams? And can I ever go out in the sun again? They just seem to get darker and darker even with sunblock!

    Tattoo removal can lead to scarring and hyperpigmentation. Other possible side effects include infection, lack of complete pigment removal and sometimes permanent scarring. You should trying using a bleaching cream. This will help reduce or remove hyperpigmentations very effectively. If you don't see any improvement after a month or so, please consult a dermatologist for a proper treatment.

    Yes, you can go out in the sun. The best way to combat UV rays is to use a protective sunscreen and cover up the affect area with clothes. Use a sunscreen with SPF of 15 or greater.

    Thank you! Can you recommend any bleaching creams? I have been using Black and White and it has shown some improvement, but it has been over a month. As long as there is improvement, should I worry?
