Two years ago I went to a dermatologist to have a small cyst/mole removed from my nose. The dermatologist did a shave biopsy. However, the dermatologist cut too deep and left me with a crater scar/ divot. I went six months without any treatment after the procedure which I then went eight rounds of deep co2 laser to the area. I'm not sure what my next step should be cause it is still quite noticeable. I am asking for suggestions on what to do next in this process to hopefully resolve this scar.
