Beauty mark peeled off. Will the pigment come back?

April 23, 2020
Asked By:EdNygma in California, CA

I always had a beauty mark on my cheek next to my mouth. I recently noticed a pimple underneath my beauty mark, I popped it and the beauty mark got a scab and started peeling. I tried to let it be and not bother it but it was really difficult. It eventually peeled off. The thickness is still there, it's not bleeding, it's not painful, it hasn't changed in size or shape or anything, just the pigment isn't really there. Will the pigment come back? I've read that it can come back in a month or so.
