On Thursday, I'm going in for minor surgery on my scalp at my dermatologist (I have a gash that hasn't healed since the mid 1980s and I have a spot on the base of my neck that keeps getting recurring boils) There were a couple of black marks on my scalp that he gave me some bleaching cream for about three months ago, and if you see a dermatologist, he may recommend this cream that can at least minimize the appearance of the two scars, if not eliminate them altogether. I would see one at the earliest opportunity, s/he could help you out and you may not even need surgery!
