Laser Treatment For Broken Capillaries and A Large Blister Formed and Popped, Leaving a Red Mark?

I had laser treatment to remove broken capillaries around my nose. One on the tip of my nose where a rather large blister formed and popped leaving a red mark. It has been more than 6 weeks and though the blister has somewhat healed it has left a small mark and the tiny broken capillary is a darker red making it quite prominent against the rest of the light skin. I am wondering if and when it will return to normal and what are my options. I was told to put bleaching cream/retin-a on it.

Thank you for your question. Treatment of the nose can take a little longer to heal in some circumstances. As the vein contracts, the void left may leave a little mark which will be filled in with normal tissue in several months. The redness will fade over time, perhaps 3-6 months depending on your skin type. I would avoid any aggressive treatments in the area until healing is complete. For now, sunscreen is the most important thing and avoiding sun exposure. Be... more
