I really wish artist would make disfigurated and supposedly ugly characters actually non-attractive or at least something beyond *color change*. But I guess with the healing spring is more understandable, just a little irritating in comics and even tv adaptations.
An actual good example similar to MC is Zuko from Avatar, with his burn mark actually affecting not only the color of this skin, but also the texture and being unable to grow eyebrows and eyelashes, making his face subtly assymetrical.
