Suggest Remedy For Black Scars Due To Rashes

Hi. I have got some rash on my forehand and palm. Not sure, by what I did get it. My doctor told that maybe its some allergy and he prescribed me Allegra. The swelling went away but I have black scars left behind which are like little dark black spots. What should I apply to remove them since they are very visible and distinguish.
Also, the doctor was not sure if it was allergy.

Hi

I completely understand your concern and I hope I am able to help you for the same.
Since these are dark scars, I would advice that you use some kind of a lightening agent like kojic acid and vitamin c combination over the scar.
This is a simple, harmless lightening agent which can be used for as long the blackish pigmentation is there.
Also ,try not to touch the area too much.
Use proper sunscreen (spf>26) before going out in the sun so that the lesions doesn't darken any further.
          
Take a diet rich in vitamin C and antioxidants like Citrus fruits and lots of salads



Hope it helps
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
