How To Treat Blemishes Caused Due To Pimple?
After I scratched my pimple, it turned dark and hasn t faded at all for a month. I have small bumps on my arms but they aren t itching or irritated. My lips used to be pink but then turned purple, maybe because of sunburn. And my cheeks got sunburned but hasn t got lighter for a few years.Do you know any products that I can get from a drugstore or Walmart that will help me go back to normal??

Hi I did understand your concern.
First of all apply clindamycin gel BD or benzoyl peroxide 2.5 %for 5-6 days.
Once the lesion clears and only black to brown pigments remain apply hydroquinone 2% cream bd. however do not apply excess as it may be harmful. also If possible it is better to apply it under dermatologist supervision .
I hope this helps
wish you a good healthy life ahead
