Large red bumps after laser hair removal still present 2 weeks after treatment (Photo)

Member2016
I had laser hair removal on my stomach. The first day there was some swelling but by the third day I had these red bumps with puss that have gotten worse. The hairs are not ingrown but the reaction seems to be similar. The area is sensitive and has a slight burning sensation. Will this cause scarring? It looks terrible.
