I'm seeing this hickey-like mark on my leg, and I'm a bit worried. It doesn't itch or feel raised, but it just kind of appears and disappears on its own. Could this be a sign of something else going on?

I'm planning to attend an event soon and I'm thinking about using a cream called UltraBrite to reduce some marks and dark circles on my face. I'm only planning to use it for a week and then stop. Do you think that's okay? Could it have any side effects if I just use it for such a short time?
