I Got Red Rash After Applying Clearasil. What I Have To Do To Get Rid Of It?

Hello, For the last couple of years I was using a scrub on my face everyday. It wasn't until a few months ago that I realized that I was over exfoliating my skin. My skin has become very sensitive. I had also been using the product Clearasil for many years as well. I would usually put it on twice a day. Once I had some bad breakouts on my cheek and I used a large amount of Clearasil on my cheek. I used so much that it gave me a rash that made the skin very red and dry. When the rash finally went away it left a dark reddish pigmentation in my skin. I have had it for over a year now and it still hasn't diminished. Why? What can I do to get rid of it? Thank you.

Thanks for the query

The only way to get rid of it is to go for glyco peels which would lighten the darkened area. The other way is ofcourse cosmetic surgery. It looks like u pigmentation secondary to an allergic reaction. Some doctors call it posinflammatory pigmentation
