Scars and infections: Infections such as this typically need to be treated with drainage and allowing them to heal. The scar will depend on how bad the infection was, location, how long it takes to heal and genetics. Scar revisions typically can be performed several months after the drainage as a separate procedure to improve the scar. Get seen by a doctor to evaluate this quickly! good luck!

If its small: If the lesion is small, i don't think you will even find a scar eventually. Good luck from nyc.
