Skin Discoloration
I have really bad skin and get cysts (no idea if that's spelled correctly). I had one on my cheek (just below my cheek bone) a few months ago that continues to come back. It's away for now, but there is still a purple discoloration. It doesn't look terrible, but it's very difficult to cover with cover up or powder, for some reason. How do I cover it? Better yet, how do I get the color to go away? My dermatologist hasn't really offered me any advice on that. He just continues to say it will go away on it's own, but it's been (I'd guess) about three months. I am on minocyclin, and have been on acutane, if that helps at all.
Thanks!

If you're looking for a makeup fix, keep in mind that if you want to conceal some sort of discoloration, you'll want to put a cream that is it's compliment over the discoloration itself. If you do this, just make sure you do NOT put the color around the blemish, because then, it will only draw attention to the discoloration.
Examples of complimentary colors:
red- green
orange- blue
yellow- purple
green- red
blue- orange
purple- yellow
So, with your problem, you'd use some kind of cream with yellow undertones. You may be able to find a concealer that's really yellow.
For a green tinted cream, you might have to go to sephora & spend like $40.
But since you need yellow, you might be able to go to wal-mart & find something.
