What are the causes and treatment methods for post inflammation hyperpigmentation with hair growth and itching?

Doctor's Answer

The photo is not so clear, but it appears that you may have used too much topical steroids on that patch of skin.

This can result in skin thinning (atrophy) and hair growth. You should stop using any topical steroid creams, and use regular moisturisers.

I’d strongly suggest seeing a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.

Cheers
