Skin issues aside, if this is for a profile pic it should be trivial to remove the discoloration in the pic.
Silver lining and all that.

I’d feel like I was cheating.

Nah. You’re not photoshopping a six pack on yourself. You’re just removing a temporary mark that isn’t part of your regular look. It’s making the photo more representative of your true every day appearance.

I can see it that way, but I still don’t think it would feel right to me to do it. I’d rather have people see my flaws and if this is some long-lasting thing, if it’s there in a couple of days, I’ll use it in the profile picture.

That level of honesty is noble but unwarranted. It’s a profile pic that is supposed to be a “here’s my general appearance” and that’s just a temporary blemish. If it becomes a part of your personality, take another picture. It will give you time to adjust to whatever the skin is going to do.
