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. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): This is a common complication of laser treatments, especially in darker skin types. 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. Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. This will help prevent further darkening of the spots.
