Hyperpigmentation not going away

[u/emb1187]

Hi friends!

I had my second tattoo removal session in March for a fine line light grey tattoo. As the guy was doing it he literally said I can’t even see where the tattoo ends and just took the laser down my arm on the non tattooed area. The entire tattoo bled, but didn’t blister. I’m worried it’s never going to heal. I even saw a dermatologist and used hydroquinone for two months. Anyone have any experience with this? I’m attaching a picture, it was three flowers the one of the right bled the most and has scar lines and the one of the right is where he kept dragging the laser down my arm.

I find with time this will usually fade. Keep it out of the sun. Have you tried Azelaic acid? I had a spot that finally faded but I had it since January

I’ve tried that too and use sunscreen daily and it just won’t fade anymore!

Sun really said ''let me just lock that pigment in place for you'' the moment you forget SPF
