My Skin Completely Broke Out After 2nd Session of Laser Resurfacing, What Do I Do?

September 22, 2011
Asked By:KLJ1992 in Dallas, TX

I have very sensitive skin and just had my second session of laser resurfaccing August 1st. Now my skin is breaking out again and I don't know what to do! I can't use facial cleansers and washes that only makes it worse. I was on accutane for 7 months until last october and that was the only thing that cured my acne before but it had serious side effects and I don't have insurance now since I just turned 19 and got taken off my moms. Please help, I don't want more scars.
