Red indentation and pigmentation after mole removal methods. Do I have any options? (Photo)

September 5, 2014
Asked By:Treeleaf in Toronto, ON

I had a mole excision done by way of punch and in time pigmentation returned and a bumps along the scar line. A laser was used to get rid of what came back and a month later I still have a dark bump at top right corner and the scar is indented and red. This is on my face and devastating. Do I have any options?
