Black Mark on Nose - How to get rid of it?

[KNDNM]

Hello, I accidentally popped a pimple on my nose a few months back & a large dark, black mark appeared.  I was wondering if there was any way to get rid of it, as I still have it.  It seems to be combined with my skin and I tried AcneFree & other acne medicine, but it still has not disappeared.  

Attached is a photo of what it looks like.  Please advise me on what to do.

Thank You

Hello,
The lesion that you have described sounds like a scar with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The treatment for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation includes various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment.Apply hydroquinone cream on this scar and it should go away in a few days to months.If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
