Repeated rubbing and skin damge to sides of the nose and it wont heal anymore.

[ArkarPhyo]

In my childhood , I got some black heads around my nose so I started rubbing my sides of the nose with a rough clothes. And soon the skin becomes brown but I still rubbing it. At a point, I stopped and found out that my skin of sides of my nose is damaged and the skin become black. And about 5 years passed on and it won't still heal. I apply petroleum gel but the skin didn't get white anyway. Its really ugly to look and I really want my natural white skin back. Please tell me what kind of cream should I apply for the damage or if the skin damage is permanent ? I wanna know. Thanks !

It sounds like you injured your skin and then it healed to a different colour. Your doctor may be the best person to prescribe an anti-pigmentation cream.

Have you talked to a dermatologist about the best way to heal the skin?  I'd go ahead with that route to get a professional opinion about the best cream.
