Dear geegees,This could also be a blocked pore causing a bump to formOne simple method is to uncap the bump (with a needle) and see if we can get anything outIf you visit a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, they can evaluate it for youBest,Dr. Nima

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in scars, this likely will need a combination of lasers and fillers for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.
