After pimple dark spot removal - #12516

Aasha

I am really stressing over my skin lately, especially after pimple dark spot removal. I had these annoying pimples that left behind marks and thought, great, let's just zap those dark spots away with some treatment. But now, after pimple dark spot removal, my skin feels more sensitive than ever and not to mention, I’ve noticed some redness and irritation that weren’t there before. I feel like these dark spots could’ve been handled better, you know? I did follow the aftercare instructions, like avoiding sun exposure and using a gentle moisturizer, but the redness is still hanging around. Is this normal after pimple dark spot removal? How long should I expect my skin to stay like this? Some people say it could take weeks for my skin to settle, but is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process or prevent scarring from the irritation? Honestly, I am a bit worried that these dark spots might even get darker because of the treatment. Has anyone else had similar issues after pimple dark spot removal? What did you find was helpful? Am I just worrying needlessly or should I consult my dermatologist again? Just wishing I could have my clear skin back.
