Used Liquid Nitrogen For Age Spots on Leg - Now Worse?

rsw
My derm used liquid nitrogen on two age/liver spots on lower leg about 7 weeks ago. The two areas formed scabs, and is now darkish red - not pink. Is this normal? I'm really concerned -- will I never be able to wear a dress again? What should I do, so upset.
