Skin discoloration following Facial Hair Transplant normal?

January 4, 2014
Asked By:Jacob B

I had facial hair transplant surgery in an attempt to grow a mustache/ goatee. Now, 8 months post surgery my skin is still discolored in that region from the bruising. There is a slight darker tint in that area compared to the rest of my face, as if I drew in a goatee. It looks terrible :( I have been on a Hydroquinone skin lightening cream for the past two weeks but I cant say that I have noticed much of a result. Will anything help. Please help Thank you
