Hi dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
The dark spot or mark on your face after injury are due to post inflammatory hyper pigmentation . This is kind of body's response by increasing production of melanin . Injury act as trigger factor for melanocyte cell to produce melanin . These marks take time to go way . I would suggest you to apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ whenever you are under sun exposure to prevent skin from further damage due to UV rays of sun , Wash you face with cold water twice a day , exfoliate once a week and apply azlaic acid cream twice a day which is very effective for dark spots . If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may recommend procedure like chemical peeling and laser therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
