Scarring?

Can anyone tell me if this appears to be scarring?

Background: Had a pimple in this spot. Unfortunately, it got accidentally scratched and started bleeding a bit. Left it alone to heal, and it eventually went away but left this spot behind. I figured it was probably PIH so been mostly using vitamin C, niamincide, and azelaic acid to try and clear it up. Coming up on 3 weeks now.

To my naked eye it looks like you lost a tiny bit of collagen, in other words, a scar. But, it's tiny and probably won't be very noticeable once the redness subsides.

I like what you're using on it. Some good anti-inflammatories and healthy skin stuff. But scars are scars. Once you lose collagen, you can't get it back. But yeah, no biggie on this I wouldn't think. I bet it won't be noticeable.

Ah well, that's what I was hoping not to hear. But I appreciate the feedback. The discoloration is what really makes it stand out, so I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully that will fade away soon.
