Can I correct the discoloration that Juvederm caused when placed in my acne, atrophy from cortisone? (photos)

Jacee
I had cortisone injections 2 months ago that left me with dents. I had them filled with juvederm and one has turned blue with what looks a doughnut around the atrophy. I met with another injector at the office that did my procedure and he said that the bluish tint can stay even if I have it dissolved, so I should just leave it alone. Should I wait to get the Juvederm dissolved? Will I damage my skins natural healing process with hyaluronidase? Will my dents continue to heal over the juvederm?
