Sunburn and hyperpaymentation

2019-02-21 06:43:51
Hi a year back I got bad sunburn under my chin and I scratched it. It turned black with a big black patch and blister on it. I applied aloe Vera and it peeled but the mark is still not fading away. It itches sometimes and also swells. Also tried laser but I left in between as could not afford it. Currently I am using Nivea on it as my skin is extremely dry. Please help

Hi, The pigmentation developed on the chin area can be reduced by sequential treatments of peels and lasers. You can go for spot treatments for the concerned areas only, reducing your price consideration. Creams can help to a certain extent only.
Next Steps
Consult in person or online for further instructions on intervention.
Health Tips
Moisturizing dry skin areas multiple times a day will aid in healing.
