Dark spots on skin (hyperpigmentation)

Hyperpigmentation — including melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation from acne or eczema, and sun spots — is one of the most-searched skin concerns online. Treatment combines daily broad-spectrum SPF 50, prescription topicals (hydroquinone 4%, tretinoin, azelaic acid, kojic acid), and trigger control (sun, hormones, friction). Clindle prescribes hydroquinone in a video visit when appropriate and builds a step-by-step routine. Stubborn cases benefit from in-office chemical peels or laser, which we refer locally. Results take 8–12 weeks; consistency beats potency.
