I had 4 lid bleph 9 days ago with laser resurfacing under eyes. Now that the crusty skin has fallen off I am left with two dark pink circles. Should I use lightening treatment or just Acquaphor to soften the skin? How long before it clears up and I can judge bleph results on lower and upper lids? I see a small line under one eye that looks like a partial bag was left, might just be from the laser burn. Does that sound normal? See 1st pic. Next post op is a month away but doc says so far so good.
