Post-op staph infection is a possible risk after laser resurfacing. You most likely need oral antibiotics. Better yet, a culture should be done to make sure that you do not have MRSA, i.e. drug resistant staph infection. Inadequately treated post-op laser wound infection can lead to post-inflammatory pigmentation and occasionally scarring. Post-op oral antibiotics and oral antiviral medications are advisable and typically prescribed by experienced board-certified dermatologists prior to fractionated laser resurfacing such as Fractional CO2 Laser.
