The Bite Heals. The Brown Circle Is PIH — and SA Sun Keeps It.
10 September 2026 10 min read 2 views 0
Mosquito and garden bites leave flat dark marks on melanin-rich skin. Stop scratching, wear SPF on the limbs, then use measured brighteners. Skip the street fade cream.
Key takeaways
- Dark circles after bites are usually PIH, worse on deeper skin tones.
- Scratching plus UV locks the mark in. SPF on limbs is not optional.
- Use azelaic or niacinamide on closed skin. Avoid unregulated lightening creams.
