Suggest Treatment For Post Acne Hyperpigmentation On Forehead

Posted on Fri, 21 Nov 2014

Question: I had a small boil on my forehead some 5 months ago. While it went away, it had left a mark on my forehead. The problem is it is not like dark spots but it is a very small bump with pigmentation. I tried many face washes but they are not of any use. I still have that ugly dark bump on my forehead. Can you suggest something to remove it ?
