Hi doctor,I got an insect rub on my face approximately 3 weeks back. The wound caused by it is healed now but it has left a mark on my face.I asked a dermatologist and he suggested to apply evion cream merck. The mark is still there and doesnt seem to go. What should i do?
I completely understand your concern and I hope I am able to help you for the same. Since this is a dark scar, I would advice that you use some kind of a lightening agent like kojic acid and vitamin c combination over the scar. This is a simple, harmless lightening agent which can be used for as long the blackish pigmentation is there. Also ,try not to touch the area too much. Use proper sunscreen (spf>26) before going out in the sun so that the lesions doesn't darken any further.
Take a diet rich in vitamin C and antioxidants like Citrus fruits and lots of salads
Hope it helps Best wishes for a speedy recovery Dr Geetika Paul
