scaredscarsSep 22, 2022
After multiple cysts and some minor skin picking my nipples now look horrendous. What can I do to reduce the bumps and uneven colour of my aerola? I’ve been taking really good care of them the past few months (clean, light exfoliation and moisturizer). If I had CO2 laser would that help? I’m just worried about losing colour in my aerola. I’ll do anything to make them looks better, I cry every time I look at my chest. Please help! Ty.

This is either scarring or textural changes in the skin. I would recommend using topical steroids or topical silicone, or even intralesional steroid injections.
