Suggest Treatment For Black Mark Left From A Pimple

ast 1 month ago found a pimple on side of my nose. I applied garlic along with some vitamin cream all the night.The next morning i found black patch on the place i applied. after washing my face the skin over the patch has lost and obeserved pink.I didn t take any special care. but applied some natural products like turmeric,lemon juice and tomato. Then after a week it looked very dark Days gone i observed that some darkness has been lost but very slowly.So please help me to get rid of that spot on my face as it is very ugly to see.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain application of garlic can lead to chemical burning of the skin leading to leftover dark scars..
Any home remedy should be followed only if you have complete information about the god and bad effects otherwise it can lead to harmful effects rather than helpful effects..

I would suggest you that in case if you have a dark scar over the nose you should wash you face with facewash containing Salicylic acid and glycolic acid as it will help in peeling..
Apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
You can also apply azelic acid containing creams.
Apply Vitamin E oil at nighht..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week using a gentle scrub..
You can also go for chemical peeling and photofacials..


Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
