How to treat post inflammatory hyperpigmentation I Backed by research

Hi friends! 🤗

In this video, I share everything about post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), including what it is and what treatments are available to manage this common condition. Unfortunately, there aren't many good clinical trials looking at these treatments targeted at PIH. I have linked some of the research evidence behind the common treatments used for PIH.
