Had erbium and fraxel laser on my skin 8 months ago and now have several black bumpy marks under my skin which are not going away with hydroquinone or anything else. I tried to prick the blood vessels with a sterilized needle to get rid of them but not much luck. I have hyperpigmentation as well on my face and my neck. It's a mess. The doctor wants to zap the raised blood vessels individually but I am scared to let him. The Erbium laser and the Fraxel have done enough damage to my skin. I have a light complexion so they are very noticeable. I'm very very upset about them. Has anyone had these black bumpy raised blood vessels after a laser procedure.

The bumps are black due to blood pooled underneath the skin. The doctor wants to fine laser them away but I am afraid as the second round of Fraxel and CO2 laser caused this problem. I have tried to release the pooled blood myself but leave a red mark as a result. I'm very disappointed and would not recommend this procedure to anyone.

I'm sorry to hear that finominal :( mine are different - they look like black pin-pricks, not bumpy at the moment.

Try Seabuckthorn seed oil mixed with seabuckthorn berry oil ratio 1:3. It might help if you use it at night along with frequent exfoliation and egg white mask twice a week. I'm not sure if that's strong enough but seabuckthorn, also tamanu oil are supposed to be effective. I've tried the seabuckthorn and its helped my skin a lot. Hope it heals soon for you.

Someone said castor oil packs reduce blood blisters. I saw it on a website for someone who mixed castor oil with butter, melted them together, applied it topically, and now ok. He had fallen asleep in the sun in Pakistan while a soldier there. Try googling it. I hope that helps.

Re my above comment, I think it's at a website called ***Removed 3rd party link***
