How To Get Rid Of Black Scars On Face After Pinching The Pimples?
Hello Doctor,
About 3 weeks ago I had pimples come in one near each of my nostril and a couple on my chin. Not sure if it was a pimple or a heat boil. But I have black scar left after pinching them. Its just smooth skin that is black.
as per your query you had pimple on your face and now scar left after pinching . Well this is very common problem and this occur due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation . I would suggest you to wash your face with cold water and face wash containing benzoyl peroxide twice a day , after washing face apply cream containing kojic acid ( kojivit ) twice a day and cover your face or apply broad spectrum sunscreen while under exposure to sun . Also apply vitamin E oil for good texture of skin . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid cream , retinoids and recommend chemical peeling or laser therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
