Discoloration after I popped mysterious black dots on my hand, will this scar? (Photos)

A week ago three mysterious black dots appeared on my hand. I think they might be from my at-home IPL hair removal machine but I have never experienced this issue before. I tried to squeeze them and got two of them out and they seem to be healing, but third one didn’t come out and now I have a brownish circle around it. Will it scar? Should I get it lasered?
