| Abstrakt: | We present the case of a 32-year-old African American female with a known history of primary Sjogren's syndrome, multiple vitamin deficiencies, and prior facial cellulitis who presented with diffuse facial post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following a motor vehicle accident. Following glucocorticoid treatment, only select hyperpigmented areas associated with inflammation, infection, or trauma improved, which thereby posed a clinical challenge to improve the patient's appearance and condition. Such results may warrant the consideration of adjunctive topical therapies to lighten the remaining areas of hyperpigmentation.
