Will this spontaneously heal? Retraction (Photo)

November 18, 2024
Asked By:nnnnnnpppp in Los Angeles, California

I got a skin pinch two months ago and asked dr to be conservative. However swelling has gone down but redness and scar persists. He is telling me it will 100% go away within six months. But I’m looking at it and it looks bad… wondering what other professionals have to add about these results and healing point. The retraction is making me extremely uneasy and killing my confidence.
