Gaping hole after laser removal of closed comedone, how long does this take to heal?

May 22, 2017
Asked By:lululusan in Chicago, IL

I have a closed comedone below my eye which the doctor lasered then squeezed out. The scab fell off 3 days later and there's now a ugly red hole where my pore was. I called the clinic who told me it would take time for it to fill in. I am still worried, how long does this take to heal normally, should I apply copper peptides?
