Cryotherapy on penis. Will my skin heal?

Last week I went to the doctor because I had a tiny bump on the underside of the shaft of my penis. I was told it was a wart and the doctor dipped a q-tip in liquid nitrogen and froze it off. However he froze an area that was literally 10x the size of the wart. It turned into a black scab and fell off revealing pink/red skin at first, which soon turned into pinkish white skin. It has been 2 weeks since the scab has fallen off and the skin looks very unsightly. The shaft of my penis is brown and I was wondering if my normal pigmentation will ever come back? I have been very depressed I went out and bought a silicone gel because I read online it will prevent scarring. Thank you for tour help in advance. image

    overtime the area will fade and become less prominent but when u have a growth or anything frozen or burnt off it can leave a scar behind it may not go back to how if looked previously
