How long will it take for this shaved biopsy scar to heal flush with my skin color?

Asked By:zgonz003 in Miami, FL

Shaved biopsy was done 07/07/15. I've had this area shaved 3x before & healed normal with no red mark, but mole returned. This last time my derm. went a slight deeper & the raise has not returned but, this mark does not go away. Since July till now I did pick at it & it bleed. I've not touched it anymore all I do is put Aquaphor & Mederma all I want is for the red Mark to go away. What do you suggest. It's only been 2 months since I had it done. Will the red mark go away & heal to my skin color.
