Subcision On Acne Scar, Lump Formed, Treatment ?
I had subcision on a acne scar and now there is a lump. How long should I wait before I go back to the dermatologist? The procedure was done one month ago as of today.

Hello,
Well it could be a haematoma which means 'collection of blood' under the area where subcision was done.
I will advise you to meet your dermatologist at the earliest
Take Care
Regards
Dr.Sidhu
