Rubbed Color Off Of Seat Leather

Found tree sap or something stuck to the red leather of my driver's seat. Had a heckuva time getting it off. Finally resorted to a citrus-based goo remover. Got the sap off, but then I noticed red on my towel and, sure enough, discovered I'd rubbed some of the red dye right off of my seat. Now it has the spot you see. Suggestions? I guess I can live with it, but wondered if a leather shop could dye it red again.

Got the seat fixed. A mobile leather repair guy did it at my house with an airbrush.

Kind of. He masked off the black to airbrush the damaged area in red, but feathered the spray going downward. At the lower end of the panel it's the original dye.
