I had an Aerolase laser facial last Thursday. I have a wide scarred pore hole/ice pick in the center of my nose that gets clogged w/oil and has been getting larger, the aesthetician said she turned up the strength on the laser. My skin looks worse and I have bright red spots that look like scabs inside the scars/pores she treated. I'm worried they will scar/leave a bigger hole/something is going to make it worse :/ I don't pick scabs but I'm not sure if I should let them be or not. Please help!
