Specialist consult: The red lesions are areas of new vessels growing in to heal your skin. They will eventually resolve and there's nothing to do for them. If you have depressed lesions, a dermatologist or plastic surgeon can make them less visible using a laser, filler, or microsurgery. Best wishes.
