I Got a Bad Sunburn 5 Days After Laser Hair Removal. Am I Going to Scar?

palomablanca11
I got a really bad sunburn on my back 5 days after laser hair removal. The burning is already healing but the dark marks are still there. I went to the doctor and I she said that within a week it should start fading. It's still the same. I am from South America and my skin is not prone to burning. I am scared that those marks will stay. What can I do?
