Brief Answer:
Should heal in a week or so.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached image. It does not seem concerning. Application of Zytee Gel or Clenora Gel (any topical anesthetic combination) should provide relief. It should resolve in a week or so. If not, it would be a good idea to visit a doctor and to get it evaluated.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
