Brief Answer:
Treatment with antibiotics might be needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached image. I find some amount of scarring present. I think that you need to see a doctor to rule out the possibility of a persistent underlying infection. If so, it would need to be treated with antibiotics. In case of localized infection, incision and drainage of pus might be required.

Feel free to write back.
