How can I tell if the pigmentation on my face is due to freckles, melasma, or just leftover dark marks from acne (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)?

Consult a dermatologist who will analyse your skin, history, and sometimes a Wood’s lamp to identify the concern and suggest a suitable treatment plan accordingly.
