I had one small surgical procedure on my leg. Scar left, but was not that visible. I thought it was going to fade.
I has started turning dark. That operation was 8 months ago. Is that normal to happen with scar?
Same happened to me once and as I know, this happens due to exposure to sun.
Sun can make scar turning dark. Strong sun block should be used. Generally, it is recommended to avoid
direct sunlight for at least 6 months. That’s what I know that is proven cause of reasons that scar can turn dark.
Hope that helped.
