It varies depending on where the biopsy was performed. All biopsies cause some sort of tissue scarring. Initially, the scar will be pink and then fade to white or even a brownish color which is normal. However, Scars will fade gradually - approximately 2 years or so will show the true color of the biopsy scar area.

First thing to do is keep the scar away from the sun. That will make any scar brownish.
Find out from your vet if any of those products used to lessen scars on humans would be safe for your sphynx. Such as Bio Oil, Mederma or even vitamin E.
