I got a few foliculitis inflammations on my butt that left a dark hyperpigmentation mark. how can i remove the mark?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Give it time: Inflammation may leave a mark for some time. It would be better to let it heal by itself. Intervention may make matters worse. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
