A member asked:
I had a scab, it fell and turned pink next it became a brown mark. it's been 4 months, how long will it take for the brown mark to return to my color?

Only time will tell: It may not. Some times the skin gets too much pigment at a healed site and the site becomes darker . I am not sure if plastic surgeons can fix it , but for sure there is no medication for it that can taken by mouth.
