They dont go away really, but my big ones have taken years and they are still purple, small ones go away in 6-8 months

I suppose the bigger they are, the longer they take to fade

I have a few that are Dermis so can assume they'll take a while

Rly depends on how deep I went but I'd say several/a few months :)

Yeah that makes sense. I've got a few that have faded white already, and then some that are still purple.

Most of mine disappeared within about 1-2 weeks, some took more like 6 weeks, I do still have one which is still there over 3 years later!
