Suggest Treatment For Spider Bite On The Forehead
Hi, I was bitten by a spider on the forehead, after a while a big red area was formed and then a black tissue was formed, after a couple of weeks the scar went off but now I have this little small depression on the skin, it looks the bite damaged the tissue, is there something you recommend to heal the skin?

Hi!! I can understand your concern. I would have given tretinoin 0.05per cent cream to be applied on the scar at night in minute amounts. I don't know whether it will be available as over the counter in your country. If this doesn't give you much benefit you can go for laser treatment,microneedling sessions or subcision.
