Mole Removed on Face Via Shave Excision - Slight Bump and Brownish Scar Left?

cupcake69
I recently (3/4 weeks ago) had a mole removed on my face - it was protruding and around 0.5cm in diameter. It was tested and was benign. The mark is still quite dark brown in colour (not shown so well by cam) and I am worried this will be permanent? I have had similar moles removed from other parts of my body & they left a red circle instead, which fades over time. This one is not red but brown. Will it fade or is this pigment? There is also still a small bump in the skin - what could this be?
