I did something silly with a zit and now I have a dark spot. Help.
I had a zit on the left side of my chin for a while that turned out to be an ingrown hair. I have a habit of resting my chin on my left hand when I work so I'm sure that contributed to it.
I didn't realize it was an ingrown hair for a while, but after a week of putting acne ointment on it it scabbed up and my boyfriend said that's what happens when he gets ingrown hairs and DO NOT TOUCH IT.
(Morgan Freeman's voice: she touched it.)
In all fairness I didn't do it intentionally; I am pretty sure I did it in my sleep, but I scraped the scab off and now there's a big old dark spot on my chin.
(On the plus side the hair emerged and I was able to pluck it out.)
But I don't want a dark spot on my face and I'm wondering if there are any ointments or serums or what have you that I can use to lighten this spot.
I know I shouldn't have touched it so I would appreciate answers that tell me the best way to try to remedy this as opposed to reminding me that touching zits is bad.
