I had my Fraxel and there is 1 scab that is unusual. Is it normal? (Photos)

Question

I had my second fraxel and I am on my 4th day, upon bathing, some of the scabs are washed off. When I checked the mirror, I got little worried with one particular scab because the pinkness underneath looks fresh and fleshy. Is it normal? will it develop to scar? I’m a bit scared.

Thank you for your question!  I would advise you to have a follow up appointment with your provider. S/he can give you topical medications to help you lighten this spot. Keep using sunscreen with high SPF. Best of luck!
