Hi all,

 

Long story short acne.org regimen broke me out and left me with indented red scars. Before then I was using tazorac and am using it again. How long does it take for this type of hyperpigmentation to fade? Or will it never since it's dented?

 

Please excuse the pink stuff from the kate Somerville eradikate

 

Thanks.post-76476-0-89892700-1413357447_thumb.j

anywhere from 2 months to 2 years. Hydroquinone will speed up that process massively

Hydroquinone at 2% and below is available over the counter, could get some at wallgreens or something. I'd recommend going to the dermatologist tho and having her prescribe a higher percentage. The highest you could go is 4% hydroquinone, which will fade your marks really, really fast. I'm talking 2 months those are going to be barely noticable.
