Will this indentation I have on the tip of my nose fill up as it heals? How long will it take to completely heal? (Photos)

Asked By:Scullex in Los Angeles, CA

A little over a week ago I used a mole removal cream to get rid of a flat mole I had on my nose. It took 3 overnight applications to scab. I put antibiotic ointment on the scab whenever I could. The scab fell off after 4 days and the new skin did look healthy, but there was an dent left. I put on ointment and a bandaid whenever I go out in the hot sun. Today it looks like a small indentation that is still pink.
