kikikiki1
My skin type is III/ IV. I had Fraxel 3 weeks ago done by a TOP dermatologist and got Impetigo infection ...according to the doctor that treated me. Wast treated with Antibiotics . The infection is now completely cleared. Went for a second opinion with a renowed dermatologist and he said that this was NOT impetigo but is a burn from the Fraxel. Now my skin have a red/ Pink scar and the surrounding tissue is dark. Im treating with Azalex. Will this go away ?How this scar can be treated?
