Pigmentation after laser hair reduction can happen, often due to irritation or an inflammatory reaction called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially if you have a darker skin tone or have been exposed to sun without proper protection. Generally, it’s crucial to protect your skin from the sun and irritants; use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 whenever you step outside. Also, avoid other skin products that can cause irritation, like retinoids or exfoliants. You might want to talk to your dermatologist about using a cream like hydroquinone or other topical agents that can lighten the dark spots. Be sure to get treatments only from experienced professionals, as improper technique and post-treatment care can worsen pigmentation.
As for the discoloration under your arms and shoulders, it sounds like it could be tinea versicolor, a common fungal infection. This can cause patchy skin discoloration and is usually treated with topical antifungal creams or shampoos, like ketoconazole or selenium sulfide, which you apply and leave on for a bit before rinsing off. Keeping the area dry and avoiding tight, non-breathable clothing can also help since moisture can worsen fungal infections. Sometimes, oral antifungal medications are prescribed if the topical treatments don’t do the trick. Since this issue has been ongoing since childhood, it would be beneficial to have a healthcare provider look at it again to confirm the diagnosis and update treatment if necessary. Just avoid self-medicating with strong treatments without medical advice, as misdiagnoses can lead to improper management.
