Spots can not be vanished in one day.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome back and thanks for posting your picture of the affected area.

After analyzing the picture with best diligence I can make out that the pinch marks are proper bruises and would take its own course of time of around 5 to 7 days to vanish completely. I am sorry to say that in your kind of marks there is no treatment which can vanish the marks within 1 day.

Though for the earliest resolution within 3 to 4 days I generally prescribe Thrombophobe gel and a tablet containing chymotrypsin for three times daily.

For the interim of help you can apply concealer. I hope these informations will help you.
