A member asked:
4 weeks old scar on lip after scab falls off of blister. mark is lighter than rest of skin. will the pigment be restored?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often: Normally skin pigment reduction from inflammation will renormalize over three to six months. If it fails to regiment in six months, it is more likely to be permanent. Therapeutic options to repigment are limited but can be discussed with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
