Cutlera Coolglide Had microderm + Revlite done 1st + veins Right after all was done I started having skin weeping Then had water filled blisters pop out .No redness ,no pain Edema on entire face bad,+ blisters that crusted golden. Went to doctors office 3 days later.She said it was impetigo.Did culture.Done antibiotics + ointment. Blisters healing,small round indent.No redness.Noticed small laser lines all over.Indents Same color as healthy skin.R these scars?Will impetigo scar?
If the impetigo is treated promptly with a topical or oral antibiotic, there should be no scarring,since this is a superficial infection. It may remain red for a few weeks, but that will go away. Remember that impetigo is contagious, so use separate towels until the infection has resolved. If you get several bouts of impetigo it may be worth seeing a doctor to see if you are a carrier of the bacteria called Staph aureus in your nose. That has no symptoms.
I am a 24 yr old female with red Telangiectases superficial spider veins on my chest (a few on bridge of nose). I tanned regularly in university, burning a few times. I was on 100mg spironolactone for 2 mths, then went on accutane (20mg/day 120 lb) 5 mths (this worked for my acne), but the veins seem to be getting worse daily. I am very concerned given I am only 24. I am considering laser in a few months but want to understand the cause. I feel ugly, any suggestions or advice would be great.
Based on the photos which are somewhat blurry, it appears that you have a combination of redness (mostly related to the broken blood vessels) and brown discoloration. These are both likely secondary to sun damage, and are more common in fair-skinned individuals. A series of intense pulse light (IPL) treatments can help improve this with minimal downtime. Also very effective but requiring more healing would be a combination of the erbium laser to the brown spots and light electrodessication (superficial burning) to the broken blood vessels. The most important thing you can do at this point is to protect the areas from future sun damage by practicing sun safe habits.

For problems such a broken capillaries, lasers like the Pulsed Dye or Nd: YAG work best by using light energy to home in on ruddy pigment and erasing red areas on the face and body.
When using a laser, a doctor does one pass, or several, over sections with persistent redness. The wavelength recognizes only high concentrations of pigment in the visible capillaries. Once heated, those vessels shrivel and disappear. In most cases, one to two laser sessions spaced over four to six weeks are necessary to reach complete clearance. Postprocedure, skin may be slightly irritated for a few days.
