Is It Normal To Have Scar After Wearing Tight Band Around Wrist?

Several months ago I had a tight hair elastic on my right wrist, yet not tight enough to cause any noticable signs of cut off circulation. I probably had the hair elastic on for about 1-5 days. when I took it off it left a large indent on my wrist and went back to normal in maybe an hour. But there was a red mark that stayed for the next 24 hours. It slowly went away, but it left a red 1 inch red line that looks like a scar on the left side of my right wrist and had been there for months. What could cause this? Is it normal?
