I had a history of acne. As a result my face (cheek area) manifest the aftermath of this condition. During the years I've tried just about everything to remove the acne scars, but to no avail. I went through this procedure to remove acne scars on my right cheek.
I have a black complexion. On mid-September of this year I had a Erbium (YAG) laser resurfacing to the right cheek for acne removal (2" diameter). The skin has healed ok... however, I continue to experience dark peripheral bruise and underlying pain around the impacted area. I've followed correctly all of my dr instructions. Every topical medication I was given to apply to this area has caused irritation and subsequent darkness. Is this a sign of broken vain or damaged nerve? Most importantly, what can be done to fix the underlying mild pain, before tackling the darkened surface area?This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Dr. did a good job of removing the acne scars. However, after three months since the procedure.... I am still struggling with peripheral post laser trauma (mild pain & sensitive dark area) to the impacted area. I suspect vain or nerve damage due to the laser procedure.
