I had a punch excision in January to remove an ice pic scar. Unfortunately, once the stitches were removed, the wound opened up creating a hole. I had a fractional C02 laser treatment on it to help but wondered if there were any treatments that you could recommend for me to have. The dr has offered to redo the treatment, however I'm scared the same will happen, leaving an even bigger hole. Thanks in advance.
