Hello, David! How are you?

Actually, if you were using it for acne, then the Tretinoin cream could have caused the hyperpigmentation. It has been known to do that, according to the FDA medication information sheet. Other side effects can include skin irritation, sun sensitivity and stinging.

Thus, it might not be something you want to use to try to get rid of this, unless your doctor has instructed you to use it for that.

What else do you use on your skin?

Ive actually stopped using the tretinoin cream. I've tired a fade cream that contained hydroquinone since I heard that helps with hyperpigmentation but it irritated my face really bad so I stopped. Now im trying natural remedies like lemon and aloe Vera since I heard that also helps with hyperpigmentation. What do you suggest? Again I only have red marks/ and some scars mostly the red marks. Thank you for your time
