I have rash marks on my hands and back. Please suggest a cream to get rid of those dark marks and spots. Does purelite work?

Question

Hello hope you are keeping safe. 1) I understand your concern about post - traumatic or acne marks, and these can be very stubborn to treatment. Please understand that any hyperpigmentation of the skin would take anywhere between 6-12 months to revert back to normal depending on various factors. 2) purelite cream does work since it contains a skin lightening agent called kojic acid. Other topicals you can try include creams containing azelaic acid, glycolic aid and niacinamide. 3) for sun- exposed areas, be sure to use a sunscreen of spf not less than 50, because these skin lightening creams can make the skin sensitive to sunlight leading to darkening of the area. Please make sure you apply these creams only at night. 4) for rapid and beneficial results you can try cosmetic procedures like - chemical peeling - prp - mesotherapy - laser assisted therapy - glutathione therapy oral or iv - microneedling all these cosmetic procedure can take 4-6 sessions depending on the response. Hope you query is cleared thank you and take care.
