Dog bite 2 months ago. What should I do with the red, hyperpigmented scar? (Photos)

Asked By:estrellachun in Los Angeles, California

I was bit by my dog almost two months ago. I was bit on my right upper cheekbone/under eye and underneath my eyebrow. The wound has closed. It is now a red hyperpigmented area but also a slight painful internal lump around both areas of where I was bit which I assume is scar tissue. My question is, does that soften/go away completely with time and does the red hyperpigmentation go away as well? What products should I use to better help with the scarring process? Will any specific procedure help with removing any sort of scars. I do see a white line forming on one of the cuts I had. I did notice that my cuts did not scab, they just turned red. I have been adding silicone gels and previously also using aloe vera plant but don’t see any changes.
