Hi there,
Thanks for writing to us,

I have seen the picture, which you send me. The darkening is due to discoloration of the skin caused by uneven deposition of melanin(pigment responsible for darkening), occurred due to the accident you have mentioned already .
The twice Daily topical application of 0.05% tretinoin in a cream base helps in recovering the darkened region of the face by balancing the melanin production and even distribution. Its vitamin based and showed good results. This needs to be applied at night only since it reacts with the sun and you may get a rash.
Wash your face twice daily with non soap based facial cleansers like Cetaphil to get rid of oily skin.
Let me know, if you have further questions.
Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
