I had my milia under and near my eyes removed by a doctor. I still have light brown scars after 3 and half weeks! What to do?

I had my milia under and near my eyes removed by a dermatologist. (I'm not sure if it was keratosis or milia, but i believe it was lancet that the dr. used). The scabs fell off after a few days, but now I still have light brown scars where they were removed. It's been over 3 and half weeks! Is this normal? I thought that this procedure shouldn't scar. What can I do at home to fix this? Should the doctor follow up with treatment since it's taking unusually long? Thanks!

Hi I would definitely recommend thyroid tests - you may have an under active thyroid that could cause this appearance. As you have an atopic condition - this may contribute too.Festoons or malar bags can be challenging to treat - please do not get dermal fillers, as this can worsen the swelling.

You should obtain an in person evaluation by an oculoplastic surgeon. It appears the smaller eye is more sunken than the other (or the other eye is more bulgy). This is likely congenital in your case resulting from underlying bony facial asymmetry.
