Is it a scar or not?

Over a year ago, I fell and hit my chin on a wooden floor. I looked in the mirror immediately after it happened and there was no cut or bleeding. Instead, there was a white line which I believe to be a hypopigmented scar, but how could a scar form immediately and with no wound? Is this really a scar or not?
