Scar?

Hello,
About 7-9 months ago i suffered from little lump on my forehead, like an inflamed spot. I was fine with it as i had dealt with one before one before and just left it. But upon arrival to work, friends and co workers began to tease the lump. Becoming self conscious about it i began to squeeze the lump until a clear substance left. I was however unaware that i squeezed so hard that i completely destroyed the tissue on the spot located on my forehead and a big open bleeding wound was created. Days past and the open wound healed but i was left with a what appears to be a white discolored circular patch which i think is a scar. I am of mixed African american decent which is why the patch is so noticeable.

I have searched for months on how to get rid of it. I have been using Bio oil for a month and have not noticed a difference. Does anyone know of what i can do to get rid of this pestering scar left on my forehead. Do i expose it to direct sunlight so it will tan into my skin, Or any other suggestions would be of great help!

Thank you all in advance. Much appreciation, Hannah.x

Re: Scar?

Hi Hannah. Even if you don't use any other product, use sunblock on the scar religiously. It's really important to keep it out of the sun, otherwise it can get permanently dark. With respect to the scar itself, find a scar cream with silicone and vitamin c. There are a few, just pick whichever you like best. Vitamin c is good for the texture and the color.

Let me know what you find...
