Will this blood clot beneath the skin eventually go away? (photos)

May 4, 2015
Asked By:Gingerbelle8 in Canada,

I had scar revision surgery a few weeks ago. The scar itself is better than I had ever imagined it to be. Now the bruising is left. I know that will eventually fade. What's noticeable is the red blood clot. It seems to be lingering with no improvement. Will it eventually fade with time? Or will it need some sort of laser or skin treatment to help fade it?
