After IPL for stretch marks, I now have a burn mark. I'm worried it will leave a keloid scar. What can I do? (photos)

I am devastated my Surgeon gave me an ipl treatment for stretch marks I developed after breast implants and he left a terrible burn mark on me. It burned so bad and welted up. He just brushed it off and said it will get better in time. It is very red and raised. I am so upset and worried it will leave a keloid scar. What can I do to help this?
