I had CROSS 10 daysago (done by a professional). The scabs fell off a few days ago and the scars on my temple are pinkish-white.Not red, but pinkish-white.

I am skin type V.

Is this hypopigmentation? Does anyone have any experience with this?

I will add that this is Phenol CROSS, so there's supposed to be a lower risk of pigmentation issues. But my concern is that the doctor was too liberal in applying the phenol ...

Its just healing, Id imagine if you scraped your knee right now it would go pink/ white give it a few weeks and then re evaluate

If you can upload pics that would be cool. I tend to think @Scarsmakemewanttodieis probably right. But if you can upload pics and then upload later that will help people in the future to discern if they should be concerned or now.
