Is It Normal To Breakout In Painful Acne After Laser Resurfacing?

I had Laser resurfacing 2 weeks ago and am experiencing what I can only call as painful acne (I have never had any acne issues before) around my mouth and eye areas that do not seem to be getting any better. I also have swelling of lower part of my face and wanted to find out if this in normal or anything I should be concerned with?

A: Post laser acne breakout.

I agree with the other posters that you should check in with your doctor.  Acne is possible but usually not painful.  Herpes reactivation is possible and treatment may help.  The rash you describe is also possible with topical bacitracin allergy-- if you are using it.
