I had 2 sessions of CO2 laser to remove my periorbital syringoma recently. That was my second treatment for syringoma since the first I had about 10 years ago using electocautery method and the results were excellent. Unfortunately, this time around I noticed the texture around my eyes is still bumpy after 2 sessions of CO2 laser. I went to my doctor and was informed that I developed scars after the laser procedure (hypertrophic scars I suppose). What should I do?
