What Causes White Color For The Scar With Bump And Pink Center?

hi I was hit in the shin bone by a board that was underneath a car tire about 4 months ago. We were trying to give the car traction and the board shot out and hit me in the shin bone area. It almost seemed like the board rubbed all of the hair off at the point of contact and it was really white and not bleeding at first, after a while it began to bleed and I put an ice pack on it. Now that a scar has formed it has a white color surrounding the scar and a pink center also if the scar gets bumped it sometimes takes a tiny chunk or layer of the scar out but it doesn't bleed. my question is should I be worried?
