Can psoriasis cause dark spots?

In my experience, after the active red psoriasis patches started healing and flattening out, they left behind dark grayish-brown spots on my skin. My doctor told me this is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It took several months, but they slowly faded on their own.

Yes, those dark spots are common after the patches clear. Instead of buying expensive whitening creams, just keep the area well moisturized with simple coconut oil or aloe vera gel. Also, try to avoid direct sunlight on those spots as sun exposure can make them darker.

My doctor explained that any skin inflammation can leave hyperpigmentation behind once it resolves. Just like managing my blood pressure requires a steady routine, healing these skin spots takes patience and protecting the skin from harsh sun. Do mention it during your next regular checkup.

Haan, jab patches theek hote hain toh kaale nishan chhod jaate hain na. Mere hands pe bhi aise spots ho gaye the. Tension mat lo, dheere dheere light ho jaate hain, bas skin ko dry mat hone do.

Don't lose sleep over those dark spots, my friend. I have lived with psoriasis for thirty years, and every time a flare-up heals, it leaves dark or light marks behind. They are just battle scars of the skin and they eventually fade away with time and regular moisturizing.
