Can take a while: After an abrasion( scrape) the healing process is much like a burn. the new skin is often darker than the surrounding undamaged skin. you can hasten the healing by moisturizing it daily with vitamin e and or aloe rub the product daily into the area Or leave it alone and it should heal without scarring in 1-2 months
