I met with a road accident two weeks back and fell on my chin and the topmost layer was scraped off. My local doctor said it's a superficial injury and prescribed me some painkillers and an antibiotic ointment. It didn't scab but new skin formed over it after a week. The new skin was white at first but now it has turned reddish brown. My dermatologist prescribed me a silicone gel for a month. Is this the right treatment and how long will it take to make it fade?
