A member asked:

I have pink skin from a scab from a shaving cut on my leg- how long does it take for the pink skin to go away? it has been a month- no infection

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Months: It can take months for the pink to fade, even as many as 9. The good news is there's no infection so it should turn out smooth.

Depends: This varies based on your skin color, the location of the wound, the extent of the initial injury. It is not uncommon for this to take 2-3 months to resolve. Keep the area protected from the sun.
