As u can see there's a very dark shadow from me shaving my uni brow and I was wondering how too keep the darkening from reaccuring. Even wen it's fading if I go in the sun for even a few minutes it gets dark again

Brief Answer:
I recommend you leave it alone!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed the picture fully. The only way to address this dark spot is by using creams containing steroid. I will not recommend this and rather suggest that you allow this mark untouched. It should slowly fade away over time and even if it were to take a longer time, it is better than being aggressive with creams.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to keep the discussion going if need be.

plucking my unibrow with tweezers shouldn't irritate it?

Brief Answer:
Tweezers are more friendly.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Tweezers are more friendly. You may continue to use it. Avoid picking on the black spot several times in a day as this may make it to look worse than now.

I wish you well.
