Don't use towels or share family washcloths ect after fraxel You can get a fungal or bacterial infection Many skin infections are spread by clean laundry and in your shower.... unless you always wash in sanitary mode ect....Take extra care after fraxel... I'm no germ freak with but with thousands of tiny holes in your face it should be advised you wouldn't wash a open cut in the toilet..... our showers and clean laundry are not much better.... Google germs in laundry... A cup of vinegar and washing in hot water helps and softens. without the damage of bleach... Or you can use a commercial product..
