A member asked:
I had cryotherapy on 5 sunspots/moles 3 weeks ago. all of the scabs fell off, but the skin is still pink? how long to fade and is this normal healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weeks to months: Long time. Weeks to months. Longer if you are younger. Use sun block on those sites to prevent pigment changes due to sun damage.
