Did the inflammed red blotch ever go away ? If so how long did it take ?
mine is red and ive had it for two months, it still hasnt gone away, what do i use?
Just wondering to follow up. I have something similar, but my mark is red and i have had it for a few weeks after my cold sore has gone away. Did this heal for you? Anything help?
Thanks
Uh, its not really red its kind of brown the color of the skin is different then my skin tone... Everything is healed, no lesions are erupting or any of that, no loose skin its completely flat none of that its normal, I just don't like seeing it different then my skin tone. I don't know it doesn't look like its inflamed : / But what do I know? I'm not a MD so I'll do what you want me to do, uh, I hope I don't have to use laser treatment my family doesn't have a lot of money... I heard that uh, Vitamin E oil is good for healing up scars... I also heard that Vitamin E can screw/damage something up on your skin, so you have to fast it off asap when you do use it? I don't know. Is there any cream that I can buy like at Walgreens or Albertsons that make it fade quicker or should I just buy Vitamin E?
2nd question: I don't think its going to be permanent right, I mean this isn't damaging enough to make a permanent scar : / Doesn't sound right...
Anyways thanks : )

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.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
