Two months ago a sustained a fall and ended up with two very severe black eyes (I did not suffer any neurological symptoms) I took a lot of vitamin C and started healing. However two months the healing progress stopped. I read about hemosiderin staining and lasers. I am sending pictures to find if someone can help me.
