Hello,
Is this black mark flat or depressed? How long have you had it in total for now?

It's flat.. The black mark is there since 10days and surrounded by brown patch due to heavy squeeze.. will it go away or fade on its own.. how long it might take.?
Dr. Vivek Nair answered : 11 years ago
It will fade on its own, this can take 4-8 weeks sometimes longer. Using an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen on a daily basis (morning and lunchtime at least) will help the mark fade faster. You can also use a 2% Hydroquinone cream to lighten the mark faster but this requires to be done under the supervision of a doctor. Regards.
