Pigmentation
I recently burnt my cheek with ice..It left a red mark which has now turned into a brown spot..My skin is sensitive and usually marks take years to fade away.I do not want to opt for hydroquinone,retin A or similar lightening products( because it seemed like it helped in the beginning but it dint instead it became darker and my skin thinned and I could see blue veins) .I went for a chemical peel once but it cost me a lot so I dint go for second sitting as I couldn't afford the costly sittings.Please suggest me something that will help remove the pigmentation and restore my skin's natural colour.Any over the counter peels or ointments that wont burn a hole in my pocket?
