Tags: 3 weeks post-op, options
I had a fibrous popule removed from my nose 8 months ago. It has healed over but there is now a circular scar on the side of my nose that is red\dark. I had my dermatologist laser zap the spot 3 weeks ago to help reduce the redness but it only has helped a minimal amount. I have been reading about various types of plastic surgeons who deal with facial scars from surgical procedures, but have no idea what type to look into or if this is possibility for me? Thank you in advance.
