A member asked:
I scratched some of my beauty mark off and now it's lighter for a week now. can i use hydrocortisone cream 1% to heal it quicker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No products: No. Steroid creams will not improve new skin formation or return of your beauty mark. It is best to let nature manage this specific situation and to not use any products.
