I was wondering if this is serious, I've had this mark for less than a month. At first it was reddish in color and has darkened since. Area around black part is very pink. I scratched it and it bled a small amount and then quickly healed. Since then the are has had almost a tingly feeling to it.

I would use local wound care followed by twice daily administration of Plato's Medicinals Scar Serum. In our office, we use Ceralase cream after the shave procedure. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in scars. There are many options at this point, I would start laser treatments 3-6 weeks after the sutures have been removed. Best, Dr. Emer.
I understand your concern and would suggest you see your physician for followup asap. While the steps you are taking are good, if it is a a true infection then you need to most likely take antibiotics. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot
