How to remove red/purple scars after mole treatment? (Photo)

KLR215
I used a treatment called Mole wart vanish I found on Amazon to remove 2 small flat moles. I thought I only used a small amount but maybe it was too much, it burned my skin and now I am left with 2 red marks. I've been using silicone sheets daily on these marks. Can laser such as Fraxel be used to minimize the appearance of these marks?
