My 3rd laser hair removal session was extra painful and was itchy and burning for several days afterwards, which hadn't ever happened before. My skin in that area (Brazilian) is now much darker. What is it (is it PIH?) and how do I restore the color back to its original state?
I sparingly use the steroid cream Clobetasol Propionate for an itchy rash that occasionally pops up on my ankle (it was never diagnosed as anything). I use the cream probably once every 2 weeks, sometimes more or less. Will this cause side effects with laser hair removal on my ankle? I am obviously telling the technician, but even if she says yes, it will give me piece of mind hearing the opinions of PS. Thank you for your help!!
I've just received my first laser hair removal session Friday. The next day he said I could shave. So I did. All was well in the morning but as the day went on my legs started to burn and itch so bad. I applied cold water to it because that was the only thing that could take away the pain and itching. I did not scratch them because I fear I'll scar. Today is Sunday and now they look like the pictures I've just posted.
What is this reaction called? Is this follicular edema? Or burns? Its very swollen red and extremely itchy. Hot to the touch. The only thing that helps is steroid cream. I dont want to keep using it
Its itchy & am told its getting darker in the area (told by laser place its normal to get darker) and its a bit swollen and I think pinker as well? Its around the whole inside lips area (my lips cover everything) and then toward the anus area my area between there also my anus was treated with laser removal? Thanks for your help.
I have done the laser hair removal on my back. I the last sessions that I did the laser it became red and itchy and also discomfort. I am writing to ask for your help and advise what is the cause and does it go away and what sort of treatment is helpful to get rid of redness and avoid the change of skin color. I have attached a photo here under for your review and advise.
I used Rivanol disinfection and Mupirocin ointment from today as my doctor said. The hair removal laser was I2PL and it required gels, maybe i was alergic to the gel
