Can a dermatologist remove my dark marks from wearing glasses?

February 7, 2016
Asked By:Bre2013 in Monroe, LA

Black female. I haven't worn glasses for 7 years so I know it will not naturally go away. I have tried exfoliation, peels, and nothing has seemed to work. There is no dents, just dark discoloration from eye wear nose pads.
