Hello, my question is as follows: if I have a dark spot on my face do to scratching an irritation, do I wait at least a month for it to fade or go directly to a dermatologist? The wound happened approximately 2 weeks ago. Also, I am African American and tend to bruise easily. Thank you.

Hi.
As per your case history of dark spot on face, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a mild depigmenting cream like kojivit twice daily on it.
3. Usually the spot fades away with this treatment in 4-6 weeks.
Thanks.
