Beauty mark peeled off. Will the pigment come back?

EdNygmaApr 23, 2020
I always had a beauty mark on my cheek next to my mouth. I recently noticed a pimple underneath my beauty mark, I popped it and the beauty mark got a scab and started peeling. I tried to let it be and not bother it but it was really difficult. It eventually peeled off. The thickness is still there, it's not bleeding, it's not painful, it hasn't changed in size or shape or anything, just the pigment isn't really there. Will the pigment come back? I've read that it can come back in a month or so.

Depending on the energy and fractionation pattern the risk of indentation is low. If the choice is between CO2 and Erbium, erbium is better for the above reasons. However, IPL( Intense pulsed light) therapy is also an excellent option for blemishes and small flat moles.

Thanks for your question.  I would definitely recommend an appointment with your board certified dermatologist for evaluation of this lesion.  They will look very closely at the mole or spot with a special instrument and give you their professional advice if it is potentially skin...
