Marks like this generally take several weeks for the redness to go away. I suggest you apply Mederma to it now, as that may help. Redness doesn't equal permanent scarring. Superficial scratches generally don't scar permanently. You shouldn't be sad to see no scab--that's a good sign, so you should be happy about that.
