Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a frequently encountered problem and represents the sequelae of various cutaneous disorders. This acquired excess of pigment can be attributed to various preceding disease processes that affect the skin. These processes include infections, allergic reactions, mechanical injuries, reactions to medications, phototoxic eruptions, trauma (eg, burns), and inflammatory diseases (eg, lupus, eczema).

Usually, hyperpigmentation will gradually lessen over time and normal skin colour will return. However, this is a long process that may take up to 6-12 months.
