Imiquimod post scar

Hello , I had a a basal cel January 2022 and the borders were undefined or something so we didn’t know if it was nodular but because it was in the center of my forehead, we agreed to try 6 weeks of imiquimod. A year and half later and it still has a nickel sized red spot almost like a rug burn look from the imiquimod. It can be more pronounced depending on the time of the day as I do have red undertones in my skin. Has anyone had any good experience with a certain type of laser that pulls out the redness ? I have tried Moxi and then have had hydra facials and tried a little micro needling and haven’t been met with much progress. Let me know if anyone has suggestions , otherwise perhaps a plastic surgeon can help serial excise it?

  1. i wanted to check in and see if you have found any other treatments that have been helpful in reducing the redness? I hope you are doing well. All my best, Julie (team member)

    1. Thanks Julie. It has improved slowly but surely. There is a Neogen Plasma treatment that I am considering to help with the color and tightness of skin so hopefully that will help.

      1. glad to hear it’s improving! If you’re comfortable, please let us know how the Neogen plasma treatment goes for you. -Julie (team member)
