Treatment includes tretinoin or Triamcinolone
cream or Adapalene, a retinoid medication. Exfoliation, intensive
moisturizing creams, creams and lotions containing alpha hydroxy acids and urea may be used to temporarily improve the appearance and texture of affected skin.
For scars, topical treatments with acids and chemical peels can be effective but can take a while for the skin to totally revert to its normal color.
