Greetings, The black mark may not be a scar and though bio oil is marketed on tv, there amy not be strong scientific evidence backing it. Moreover the black mark you described sounds like a post inflammatory hyperpigmentation for which treatment exists. Kindly contact us for further therapy. Regards
