What Can Be Done To Remove Dark Discoloration Around A Healed Bruise On The Arm?
I had a bruise on my arm for about a month. Its completely gone now but the bruins left me a dark brown mark in my arm exactly were I had the bruise. I want to know if the bruise left me a permanent mark on me and if theres anything I can put on it too make it go away. it looks so bad because it just a dark brown mark not matching the rest of my skin color.

Hello,
It will resolve by itself by time.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like Triamcinolone for faster results.
If lesion persists, you can consult a dermatologist and plan for laser therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
