Scar On Face, Tried To Peel, Strached, Starts Bleeding And Stings

ive came up with a little scar on my face . So i tried pealing it down with a sander, then it came up with loads of straches that started bleeding , and turned into quite big dark brown circle that looks like a rash that stings, i put warm water on it to stop the bleeding, after i put cream on. Nothing seems to be working, it isn t going. and im worried that it might stay there, or cause a big scaron my face. .

Dermatologist,  Dr. Kruti's  Response
hello,

welcome to health care magic.

i will be glad to be of assistance.

i can understand your concern.

i will request you not to peel it or anything.

also please dont worry, it will heal slowly.

you need to apply a steroid cream like mometasone furoate over it twice a day for ten days. moisturize it if its dry.

after ten days, if there is still some pigmentation left, it can be treated with skin lightening creams.

regards.

please let me know if you have any queries.
