Hi everyone,
3 or so months ago I had exams, and it was a stressful period. A pimple-like thing grew above my lip, it had happened before, I had scratched them before, and they had gone away naturally before. Now I don't know if it was a pimple, a sist... I have no idea. My doctor seemed to think it was a sist, but again he wasn't sure.
ANyways, I had scratched this new spot so much, that it left a mark when it went away, a very noticeable mark. Soon enough, another spot like this one had grown on the other side of my lips, still above, but other side. Anyways, I was getting annoyed by now and went to see the doctor for some cream. He have me 'Nemdyn Antibacterial Antifungal Otic Ointment' and I applied it for a period of time, after when, it seemed it was getting rid of the spot, but leaving a mark, as if more pigment had been concentrated in that area. I continued using it, but nothing more was happening, infact it seemed as if a little of this spot was, only visible when i spread the skin around the area, and only as a little lump. But there was a mark again, not as big as the other one. Still now I had 2 marks on the 2 sides above my lips.
Last month, another one of these spots came up, and my marks hadn't changed. I didnt scratch this one, hoping it would go away naturally. It didnt, 3 weeks later it was still as big as ever. So i went to see the doctor again, had a cry, and he gave me another cream, 'Neosporin Antibiotic Ointment'. I began applying it too all 3 things, the 2 marks, and the spot. The spot dimished in size, but again like the 2nd spot, got to a stage where it was small, but left pigment there. IT hasn't changed since then. I am continuing to apply this antibiotic, and its been 10 days or so, of 2times a day application. Not much has happened.... I don't know if my first spot is a scar, doesnt seem to be. But the second and third ones definately cant be, as I never touched them.
I have been to see a Dermatologist, but all he did was give me cream for very tiny acne on my forehead.
Please could someone here help me. These spots are seriously annoying me. No one really mentions them, but I see them everyday and every night, they are very visible.
Thanks a lot :)
