Is It Normal for Open Comedones to Develop in an Area Recently Treated by Dermabrasion?

I had spot dermabrasion three weeks ago to remove an indented scar. After two weeks, I went in for a consultation, and I was told I could begin to wear make up to cover the treated area. However, the skin began to dimple somewhat after about two days, and I stopped using make up on the area altogether. Now it looks like there is an enlarged pore in the middle of the treated area, with a large open comedone. Other whiteheads have also started to form in this area. Should I be worried?
