Options for white scar after Laser hair removal
I had a Laser hair removal and it left me with white circular scars (the shape of the laser head) all over my leg. They look like fish scales. The laser burnt my leg and left blisters and scabs that soon went away. I am Hispanic, with medium brown skin. I have gotten these white scars before but they were not very obvious and disappeared within a week. However, these new ones are just not going away. What are my best options for creams or treatments? And approximately, how long does it take for these white scars take to heal? Appreciate it.
