@doctorhumza: Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) might look similar—but they’re not the same. 👀 One appears after inflammation like acne or an injury and often fades with the right treatment. The other is a chronic pigment condition, commonly triggered by sun exposure and hormones, and needs long-term management. Treating the wrong condition can leave you frustrated and wondering why your dark spots aren’t improving. Watch this video to learn how to tell the difference and why an accurate diagnosis matters. 💡 👇 Comment where your pigmentation is (cheeks, upper lip, forehead, or after acne), and I’ll help point you in the right direction.
