Scar discolor: scars take a while to become less visible. As long as it's not infected keep the area clean, have her avoid picking at it. If your daughter is in good health it will heal.

Patience: It can easily take several months for the skin to be restored after any defect. Primary repair is often accomplished in 6 weeks, but tonal qualities and the contour of the skin may take a year. Your doc could suggest some things to protect the area from solar damage and speed recovery.

Scab on face: If she is a child then it should have healed by now. Children heal faster, and any lesions on the face also heals faster. If the lesion is still there, have a physician look at it to make sure its nothing else that needs treatment
