My 2 year old daughter got some infection wounds on her stomach and arms. The scab has fallen off leaving behind pinkish whitish skin. How long will it take to restore the original colour of the skin? I am applying coconut oil to the scars. I am really afraid if the scar will disappear completely. Please advise.

Hello, it takes 2-3 months for the pigmentation to come to normal. Use sunscreen to prevent it from becoming dark.
