I can sense your concern and frustration.Q-switched Nd:YAG laser treatment is a common procedure for removing speckled nevi. However, it's not uncommon to experience some side effects, especially if you have darker skin.Possible Causes of Dark Spots1.

PIH occurs when the skin responds to inflammation by producing excess melanin, leading to dark spots.2. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations can affect melanin production, leading to dark spots.3. Sun Exposure: UV radiation can exacerbate PIH and darken existing spots.What to Do Next1. Consult Your Doctor Again: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your laser surgeon to discuss your concerns. They may prescribe additional treatments or creams to help alleviate the dark spots.2. Continue Using Depigmentation Creams: Depiwhite cream, which contains ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, and licorice extract, can help reduce melanin production and fade dark spots.3.
