Q. I'm an African American woman who suffers from hyperpigmentation. I usually get these marks
after a breakout. How can I get rid of these marks?
A. The answer is yes but.... Your acne needs to be addressed simultaneously with the pigmentation problem. Lightening gel, acid
peels and retinol can be used on dark skin. These types of products are beneficial for acne and irregular pigmentation associated with it. Talk to your dermatologist about a maintenance program.
