Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have dark skin post removal of blackheads on the forehead . Well there can be many reasons for blackening of skin like excessive sun exposure , side effect of certain medicines , hormonal changes , but in your case case the blackening of skin is due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation . I would suggest you to wash your face with mild soap twice a day , after washing face apply cream containing kojic acid which is very effective twice a day , apply vitamin E oil before going to bed at night and apply ice cubes to face 1-2 minutes daily . If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and rule out condition like skin infection . Doctor may recommend chemical peeling or dermabrassion.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
