What Causes Dark Red Mark On The Healed Cut?
I got a cut on the side off my foot when I trip off a skate board. I put something on the cut so it wouldn t get infected. It healed quickly after that but I have a dark red market where the cut was and it has been there for a few months. Can someone tell me what it is or any advice. Thank you

It is basically a scar that is left after the lesion has healed. You will need to consult a doctor regarding it so that appropriate treatment can be done. There are various treatment available like surgical scar revision, laser, microneedling but the decision will be taken after looking at the scar.
