Apple cider vinegar gave me a burn on my forehead, there's a small scar so how can i get rid of that? thanks

Scar: Vinegar is an acid, so you may have some discoloration similar to a burn after usage. It is difficult to assess without seeing the scar. I would avoid the sun and it may lighten and improve over time. If there is increased pigmentation, hydroquinone with a retinol could help but you would need to see a physician for evaluation.
