My derm said I have Keratosis Pilaris Rubra, not to be confused w/Keratosis Rubra. I have Round flat red Dots all over legs. My friend has the same issue. She did 2 Vbem laser sessions a few months ago and had to d/c since she developed white spots all over her legs, as if it is now discolored. She is olive skin like me, Hispanic. Is PDL not recommended for Olive skin? Is PDL not the right procedure for these dots? Is there anything else I can do for this? Glycogen peels didnt work
I have seen many dermatologists about my chronic condition who have diagnosed me with either type2 Rosacea (only affecting perioral area) or PR. The only treatment that works is topical metronidazole with Docycycline antibiotics. However, these do not get rid of the condition long term and I have to repeat the treatment several times a year. any other recommended treatments such as lasers that would resolve my issue long term and would that treatment be different whether I have rosacea or PD?
I had severe acne a few years ago, and last year I was on accutane for approximately 6 months. I had assumed that what I was left with was just scarring, but I'm beginning to worry I now have rosacea. I am 23 so I'm young, but I'm female and incredibly fair. My cheeks will randomly become very flushed and hot which is very irritating. The first picture is when it is flushed and hot and the second is in it's normal state. Do you think this is rosacea? How would I go about treating this?
Hello, I am going to have Pulsed Dye Laser to treat broken capillaries on cheeks and nose, and would also like to have Broad Band Light (BBL) treatment for some pigmentation, discoloration . How long should I wait between procedures please?'
Ive had 2 rounds of pulsed dye laser for a mole removal scar that wasnt fading on my face. The first was around 18 months after my mole removal, and the second at 21 months. Its now coming up to 7 months after my first PDL, and 3 months after my second; although I can see some change/fading Im still yet to see anything dramatic. My scar also tends to flare up when I get warm - such as doing excercise. I was told the PDL was shrink/destroy blood vessels. Will I see any further fading?
I have a red birthmark on my left cheek the size of a quarter. Its not flat. The PA from a derm office said she wasnt concerned it would cause any hard but jf I wanted it removed, I could explore IPL. When I started researching, I also learned about PDL. Is PDL better at removing red birthmark?
I am having laser treatment for broken capillaries around my nose and cheeks. I have seen two dermatologists, one wants to use a PDL and the other wants to use the Iriderm laser. Which one is better to use on capillaries and general uneven skin tone? Thanks in advance.
Hi, I've had two treatments with an IPL laser and so far I think the results have been absolute garbage. I am incredibly disappointed and was wondering if I would have any more success with PDL. My rosacea has made me more self-conscious and been a real problem for me. Also, other than PDL are there any other treatments for the long-term prevention of rosacea? Thanks.
