Not sure how to describe, but I had V beam for a spider angioma on my nose 3 days ago. The angioma had a little bump in the center and now after the v beam the bump looks more like a bubble/blister, it has gotten bigger each day since the v beam treatment. Is this normal and if so what is the healing process? Will it fall off? Leave an indentation? I am using hydroquinone to prevent discoloration. The first picture is the day of the procedure and the second one is 3 days after.
