What Is The Treatment For Removing Dark Spot Under Eyes?

Hi, I had an accident 6 yrs back. There was a wound below my eyes, which left a dark spot and bruise at that place. I have used Vitamin E and Mederma cream for 2-3 yrs, But not much help. What treatment can I go for to completely remove that dark spot?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You could try using a cream containing 2% kojic acid, arbutin, liquorice and niacinamide. Apply twice a day for 2-3 months.
You could also try spot glycolic or trichloroacetic acid peels done by a qualified dermatologist. You may need 6-8 sessions every 2-3 weeks depending on the depth of the pigmentation.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
