Can a Dermatologist Fix Not Too Severe Light Scar?

A scab on my forehead fell off about 7 months ago. Pink skin lied underneath. It's now a light red/brown but still noticeable. I'm due to meet with a dermatologist in December, will he able to fix this? How? It seems like a not too severe scar.

Scar discoloration is very common. Yes, a dermatologist may offer you some advice and perhaps even a solution for the color difference, but I will tell you that may scars will improve with time on their own. Sometimes the color improves over a year or two as well.
