Default Hyperigmentation

So I have a lot of spots all over legs from that ingrown hair condition...HS. At least I think that's what it is but it's a bunch of inflamed hair follicles. Even after I get rid of the ingrown hair, it often leaves a dark brown mark. Some are bigger than others. It really makes me feel gross because the marks take at least a year to fade away. I tried Civant skin care....it's some cream that's supposed to lighten the marks but it didn't really work and it was $60 down the drain. Anyone know of something that actually works? Would a bleaching cream work? My skin color is tan...so I have a lot of pigment.

lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, retin-a, and there's some more ideas from here but these are getting rid of red marks from acne. They are both called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation though so maybe some of these ideas will still help?

You can try the Rx cream Tri-Luma. For me, it worked GREAT!
