Asked By:Ashkatluv in Tampa, FL

When I was around 6 or 7 yrs old I accidentally ran into my dad while he was holding his lot cigarette. I was then burned below my bottom eye. I was a child and it hurt so bad that I remember rubbing my eye as soon as I got burned. Needless to say I was left with a dark circular scar underneath my eye. A few yrs ago I tried a 25% tca peel on tryin to remove it but did nothing. Tried prescription 4% hydroquione and nothing. Derm is the one go only suggested the hydroquoine cream to fade. Didnt work
