Hello, I have a 3 month old baby. She faces scabies on previous month and completely overcome. But a mark on her hand caused by that doesn't completely faded. No itching and pain or other problems. I applied hydrocortisone cream and flutibact ointment prescribed by doctor. These reduces marks but not completely faded. Pls suggest any cream or ailment for better result.

Spot or hyperpigmentation can take a period of 2 months to 2 years to fade completely….as the baby grows it is gonna fade if you could share a picture, will provide you with all the options.
