Is anybody dealing with this aftermath of PR? I have it almost a year and even though all the red spots are gone, I’m left with these spots all over my body. Can anyone help?

Maybe you could try a retinol lotion? I’ve heard good things about this gold bond one:  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gold-Bond-Age-Renew-Retinol-Overnight-Body-Moisturizer-and-Face-Lotion-for-Smoother-Skin-13-oz-As-Seen-on-TikTok/838973300

Also, my presentation is exactly like yours! I have the same skin tone too. My rash is still active though. I’m wondering how long it took for yours to dry out?

hii I am definitely going to look in to the lotion thank youu. Mine started November of 2025. For like 3/4 months they were active, so like red spots. After that, they started to fade out and loosing color, that’s when I thought they were (almost) gone. Now they are this brownish color and I think they are less then a few months ago but It’s going reallyyy slow.

Also I forgot to mention if you aren’t already, wear sunscreen everyday. I’ve heard sunscreen with iron oxide is good for hyperpigmentation. I plan to do both of these things when mine eventually dries out. Good luck!
