What can I do about pink skin post a scab running down the bridge of my nose? Been 8+ years no change (Photo)

jpeg17
This happened in 2015. I fell unconscious and fell down a flight of carpeted stairs scraping the skin off the bridge of my nose (and chin). It is a light pink colour but when I'm tired or stressed it becomes bright red. How do I get rid of this? I've tried laser, ipl, silicone, tretinoin, microneedling, vit c, azelaic acid, LED light therapy, niacinamide, AHA/BHAs, moisturisers, serums etc. I'm desperate. I've been told it would fade as it looks like PIE. The skin blanches when pressed. Thanks.
