hi welcome to health care magic
im dr satya.
tenia infections lead to dark skinned lesions after healing.
this is due to the secretions of a chemical substance and excessive reactions of the skin leading to dark skin.
salicyllic acid preparations applied at weekly intervals will decrease the dark skin and make it more lighter.
wash with saline water.
apply ketoconazole cream preparations regularly.
thank you take care.
