I had this accident about two and a half months ago, and now that the scab's gone, I'm left with this white patch of skin where the injury was more severe. I'm wondering if this will heal naturally. Also, this whitish skin has some red marks in places, and in some areas, the skin is raised. Should I be worried or is this part of the healing process?

Yes thats normal and will heal with time no need to worry
