Can fungus leave a scar or discoloration on face ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pigmentary changes: Difficult to say without seeing. Commonly brown discoloration can occur over the skin after inflammation has subsided and healing is occuring in areas of previous rashes. This phenomenon is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (pih). Pih usually improves with time. Best thing to do is have it checked by a board certified dermatologist.
