I'm really worried because I've been using indigo powder to color my hair, and it's left me with black spots on my face from my cheeks to my ears. At first, it was red and burning, and then it turned black. I saw a doctor who gave me Biluma and Physiogel to apply, but the spots still haven't gone away.
