Question

Hey, I've got this wound on my face and it's starting to heal, but now the skin's turned pink. Should I be doing something specific to treat it, or will it just heal on its own naturally? I'm kind of curious and a bit worried about it.

The pink color skin around the healed wound is a normal part of the healing process; with time, it should fade naturally, but to promote faster skin tone evenness, consider using topical treatments like silicone gel or sheeting, vitamin E oil, or aloe vera gel, and protect the area from sun exposure using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ to prevent hyperpigmentation.
