Help with laser tattoo removal signs of scarring? (Photos)

mmmanasseh
This tattoo has always blistered at first and I may have scratched off the top skin/scabbing in my sleep :( I know you're not suppose to because it causes scarring. Now I am worried because it looks like it may scar? It looks like it may be one of those white scars. I'm not sure though it's only been a little over a week since the laser. My other tattoos are not healing like this one. I've been putting mederma on it also. Can anyone give me advice on what's going on if i should be worried?
