33M - Will this eyelid cut/scar from black eye fade completely? 3 week progression

general enquiry

Age: 33 Sex: Male Height: 5'11" Weight: 160

Medications: None (or list any)

Smoking status: Non-smoker (or your status)

Medical issues: None relevant (or list any)

Duration: 3 weeks

Location: Eyelid/periorbital area

Issue: I got a black eye 3 weeks ago that included a small cut on my eyelid. The bruising has healed well but there's still a small brownish-red mark where the cut was. I've attached progression photos showing weeks 1, 2, and 3. The mark has been fading from red to brown to lighter brown. I'm protecting it from sun with sunglasses.

Question: What are realistic chances this will fade completely? Is there anything else I should be doing? How long should I expect the fading process to take?

It's a small dot in center area from where the skin broke.
