A member asked:
My son got a large bruise on his forehead three years ago due to injury but the area is still slightly discolored. can we do anything to fix it?

No: There's still some iron in the scar underneath the skin. It will probably disappear after a few more years. I treat combat sports participants, and these old marks may be a source of pride. I am glad Junior recovered. Get him checked once as a teen for hemochromatosis. Best wishes.
