Hello, so last week a patch of my face dot cut and then infected. now i think it healed but there's a dark circle around new pink skin. heal? hope!

Wait it out: If you are only one week after a skin infection- you are within the inflammatory phase that follows the infection. So- your skin will undergo changes until it becomes more 'normal'. Wait a couple of weeks and it should improve..

Normal Healing: As injured skin heals, the body creates inflammation to do so which means fresh blood goes to the area and with it, many kinds of healing factors and cells. One type is called melanocytes which carry our skin pigment melanin. A healing occurs, these cells get deposited int he area and give it the brownish coloration you see. Over time, there will be some fading as the injury matures.
