How Can A Dark Line Over The Bridge Of Nose Be Removed?

Hello,
I have a dark line over the bridge of my nose. I've had it for some time now. I can't recall when it began to form across my nose. Recently I have tried to get answers about what it is and how to get rid of it. Some refer to it as a transverse nasal crease. Is this accurate? If so how can I remove the eyesore from my face?
Thank You,
Robert

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

I would keep a possibility of melasma.

You should use a broad spectrum sunscreen, which offers both UVA,UVB protection, throughout the day.

A skin lightening cream containing one or more of the following ingredients: Kojic acid, Hydroquinone, Glycolic acid, Arbutin etc can be used for night time application to gradually fade it away.
