This is likely just nerve swelling called neuropraxia that can be improved with oral steroids and oral diuretics. It may take up to 3 months to resolve. Please speak to your treating physician. Best, Dr. Emer.
For red acne scars, I would consider pulsed dye laser and application of Plato's Scar Serum twice daily. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
