Dark marks on my face from wounds. how can i get them to go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dermatologist: This sounds like "post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation" and can be common after skin injury. Usually this problem fades over time, but it can take a while. Sometimes topical steroids can cause the skin to fade and things like Retin-A can also cause fading. Seeing a dermatologist will help you determine the best course of action. Sometimes doing nothing is the best thing.
