It depends on a lot of factors; where it is, how deep, what kind of scar etc.. It's also different for all skin types. Keep the area moisturized and out of direct sunlight (wear sunblock if you're going to be in the sun). In general it takes about a year for moderate-severe wounds to lose that pinkish color.
Well, I had an accident where a car ran over my foot and scraped it along the tarmac a little (sorry if you just had dinner) and it took 2 months to turn into a scab and then 4 weeks to become a pink scar. It goes purple or black when it is cold or wet. Mine still hasn't turned white again and the accident was 4 months ago now. Some are permanent - mine is, but others aren't. I later found my kind of accident is called Road Rash. They include all accidents where abrasion has been caused by tarmac. Put cocoa butter on it or olive oil. Happy Healing!
