Redness on areolas after laser and tretinoin/hydroquinone - What can I do to improve the redness? (photo)

I had areola reduction surgery four years ago, and to improve the scars I had co2 laser which ended up making the scars look worse. I applied topical tretinoin and hydroquinone to the scars on the recommendation of my surgeon, but I think the cream got on my areola as I’ve been left with red patches on my areola itself. The photos show the redness - it’s gone down a bit over the last two years, but it’s very slow and I’m worried I’ll be left like this. What can I do to improve the redness?
