Question about my skin?


Question:
there was a scab on my face a week and a half ago and it fell off after a few days and its left pinkish/white skin underneath and its very noticeable because i am dark skinned. is this going to heal and will my skin color come back? if so, how long will it take, i am using neosporin and Palmers.sorry i know ive asked this a few times but i want to hear from other people who might know what their talking about. here's a pic- http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o280/...

Answers:
YES, THE SKIN COLOR WILL COME BACK gradually. The pigment producing cells called melanocytes will be doing their job now that healing has occured. I will take 3 to 6 months for skin to get back to its original color. In a few weeks though you will see a difference. Don't apply any cream or lotion with steroids or corticosterone on the said area because it will make it even lighter than it already it.
SO, DONT WORRY.
it would depend how deep ur wound/ scar was... cuz if it was pretty deep then it myt leave a mark... if its shallow it myt disappear in a couple of weeks... the skin will grow back and catch up with ur real skin color.
The skin you are seeing is "new"...has not been exposed to much air and sunlight. with time, this area should darken some and be less noticeable. It is hard to say if it will blend in completely...some times it does and other times, you can still see a lighter shade of skid color.
I can think of a FEW things you can do!!

One- Go get those Self Tanning Skin Darkening lotions at the Store which will TAN your Spot until the color comes back on its own. Try things like Jergens or L'Oreal Self Tanning Lotion. Something like these. Get the kind for Medium to Dark Skin and put a SMALL amount on it everyday until its blended.

Second- if you have the money ($120ish) go get a microderm abrasion- That can even out Skin tone.

Third- I would but some mederma for Skin Scars on it at night!

Good Luck!! :D

Also- It looks like you are a guy... but you can ALWAYS put a dab of darker makeup on it (ask your Mom) and blend it
