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.
But if these blemishes turn up intermittently in different places, aren't they a part of you in general? Yes, they might not be in that spot all the time, so "sure it's fine to remove that because it's not a permanent part of you" but if it keeps reoccurring, then I would argue that they're a permanent part of you.
I would still remove it, but simply because clear skin makes you look better. I wouldn't try to explain this vanity away.
if you don't look like an utter piece of shit in your profile picture, people won't be impressed when they meet with you IRL.
Gotta keep up the game.
