dear sudha,
the age old remedy is sandal wood paste, if u can make it fresh and apply and leave it on it, it will gradually go away, if u have neem leaves try to wash it with water mixed with this paste of the leaves but it may burn, so sandal wood paste is the best...regards sunkan

hi,

i totally agree with sunkan. sandal wood paste is the best remedy. try mixing it with rose water instead of plain water. gives you better results.
