Scar is difficult to treat as compared to hyperpigmentation. Your scar has gone. For initial few days after laser treatment, redness is expected. You should stay in touch with the treating doctor so that some topical treatment may be started to prevent pigmentation.

Hi Somraj,
Thanks for writing in.
There is nothing to be worried about.
You can apply hydrocortisone cream over the area.It will decrease erythema and inflammation.
Also you can take tablet SN 15 for decresing erythema and inflammation.
These will help a lot.
I encourage you to visit your dermatologist for proper diagnosis ant treatment.
Hope this helps.
