Hello Dr.Deepak! Thank you for answering so quickly. I should have provided a bit of more information. I have tried the following things: - Kojic creme and soap (the soap was way too harsh on my skin) - Epiduo (recommended by a doctor) - Le'Dermis Skin Fade Cream (with hydroquine) All of these thinRead more
Hello Dr.Deepak!
Thank you for answering so quickly. 
I should have provided a bit of more information. I have tried the following things:
– Kojic creme and soap (the soap was way too harsh on my skin)
– Epiduo (recommended by a doctor)
– Le’Dermis Skin Fade Cream (with hydroquine)
All of these things made the area where the stains are and all the area around it extremely red, irritated and swollen. I used them though and the skin peeled, however the peeling did not make any of the dark stains fade, it was too superficial.
The darkened area feels more sensitive than the rest of my face and every time I get an outbreak I get it there. When I get an outbreak the darkened area gets very sensitive and tingles and then the outbreak happens, I haven’t let an outbreak progress lately because as soon as I feel an itch or a sting I take Acyclovir and it stops it. But every time I get an outbreak it goes like this: the spots get darker and irritated and itchy, the lips next to the darkened area get very swollen and I get cold sores on that side of my mouth. I have also tried home remedies like lemon and honey but they haven’t worked.
What concerns me the most is that I’ve searched on the web for people with similar stains to the ones I have and have found nothing like that. Is the dermatologist the one that performs the chemical peels and Lasers? How long will it last? Will I be able to get out of my house or does the area get really bad?

Welcome to DermaTalk. Although Aloe Vera has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties it cant treat the acne alone. So if you combine aloe Vera alongside with other conventional antibiotics that will help treat the acne.
