Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Hello,I've been suffering from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation forever -- when I was a kid, if mosquito bit me, I'd get a blue mark on my skin.
Now whenever I get a pimple or one of my sebaceous cysts flares up on the chin, I get light-purple marks on my face that turn brown when exposed to sunlight.
They go away when I peel the skin, so they're clearly superficial but it's getting more difficult to peel the skin and it renews slower, now that I'm almost 33. By the way, sunburn works well for peeling skin but that can't be good for me in the long term :)
I'm white, female, have a regular period, and these things trigger acne/cysts:
- vigorous workouts (I'm guessing due to the extra testosterone)
- stress (big time)
- lack of sleep
- acidic body (when I eat junk)
- picking skin/pores (it's a compulsion)
- pharmaceuticals of any kind, especially anaesthetics
- dental infection (this causes breakouts on just one side of my face and I'm dealing with the infection, looking for treatments -- if you have homeo-suggestions for this as well, please advise).
Thank you in advance!

1) Female, 32, 172/5'8', 125lb (55kg), self-employed, work mostly at home with computers
2) As per the message above:
- hyperpigmentation from any skin injury, whether insect bite or acne pimple.
3) Chronic, worse lately
4) No thyroid issues
5) No blood sugar issues
6) Digestion ok
7) As long as I get enough fiber, things keep moving
8) Rarely thirsty, drink at least 6 glasses of water, lots of herbal teas; some green tea; generally avoid black tea and coffee;
9) Hot, sunny and dry climate is the best!
Damp, dark days are the worst, this condition gets worse every winter for me (I live in Canada)
10) Stress level - nothing excessive, but I'm of generally nervous disposition
11) Usually get enough sleep (7-8hrs) but sadly, go to bed late, at about 1-2am.
12) I'm fairly optimistic, always trying to look on the bright side of things - sometimes even delude myself. But I'm often annoyed at people, even for 'minor offenses'. I'm more willing to forgive big missteps than small annoying habits :)
13-14) No problems with the priod, it's stable and comes every 28 days like clockwork.
Lasting 3-5 days, with only the first day being painful.
Some clotting, depending on what I eat during the month.
15. I don't take any medicines and haven't in awhile.
16) I work out a couple of times a week.
17) Cholesterol level is stellar, the doctor said I'm like in 1% of healthiest people he's ever seen as far as cholesterol goes.
18) I prefer savory foods to sweets. Don't like chocolate. Like fruits and dairy.
19) Appetite is normal, a bit lower than before. I don't enjoy food as much as before these last 2-3 years.
20) Sweating is normal, mostly underarms
21) Normal to low blood pressure
22) My food intake is irregular. No schedule at all!!
Thank you!

Thanks, Nikki!
Here's a picture of a large hyperpigmented area on my forehead
I don't really have acne, it's just one or two pimples at a time and not all the time. What you see is an accumulation spots over time!
Don't know my hemoglobin count, will try to get a test but that'll take a few days.
