I've been using Clindamycin and Desonide Cream, but ny puncture wounds are not healing. Will this heal? (Photo)

Patient0120
After a facial hair implant procedure almost a month ago I have considerable redness and small puncture wounds that are extremely visible. The operating doctor is unresponsive. I did not have any issues with my skin prior to surgery. I have been using Clindamycin and Desonide Cream as prescribed by a dermatologist, but the puncture wounds are not healing. Will this heal? If not, what are my options? Is laser resurfacing an option? Am I scarred for life?
