Asked By:mike0012j in Roma, Lazio, Italy

Exactly one month ago I had a mole on my nose removed through laser. It closed a few days ago and unfortunately now I am left with an irregular sunken red scar. I would like to know if I can do anything, the thing that worries me is the "sunken". Please kindly let me know. Also, in my case should I use cream with silicone to improve the scar?
