General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for asking a question at Health care magic

I will be glad to answer your question.

The patch might get subsided by its own.

See for a week and if it is not reducing, meet the doctor once.

Take vitamin c tablet for a week. It helps in fast healing.

Hope this helps

Best Regards

Dr Chaithanya
