Scarring from Herpes on Nose. What To Do? (photo)

May 31, 2012
Asked By:Riz1980

I had a nasty infection on my nose approximately 9 months ago, which has left me with scarring (pitted). A dermatologist has recommended TCA cross for the scarring. I have brown Indian coloured skin and was also considering Fraxel/CO2 laser or dermaroller. What would the doctors recommend ? Thanks.
