Asked By:ab250 in Charlotte, NC

I had diode laser treatment (2nd session) 2 weeks earlier. 2 days ago, I shaved normally, but overnight I got burn marks and it was burning. After a warm bath, the burning was not there, but burn marks are present. Can you please look at the attached images and advise if these scars would be permanent and what should I do to get rid of these?
