Likely a topical steroid would help. Speak to your dermatologist regarding how they can help you. It is likely that whatever you used after the procedure has become an allergen for you. If you used vaseline only then this is unlikely the problem. Stop all 3 products ... Add bare minerals first then... more
Itchy rashes post-Profractional Laser
I had profractional laser about three weeks ago. My skin looked great for two weeks, but on week 3, I developed a red itchy skin rash on my face. I went to the doctor and he said it looked like I had an allergic reaction. I was given a steroid shot, but the rash has not gone away. What could have caused the rash? I think my skin became more sensitive to the sun, but the rash doesn't go away even after I've been out of the sun. Also, if it helps, I am currently using the following products: Image Vital C anti aging serum, Image sunscreen SPF 30, and Bare Minerals foundation.

I had the treatment about a year ago and had what is sounds like you have. My Dr described it as a histimine (sp) reaction. He said the treatment is sometimes treated by your body as bee stinks...or millions of them for each spot the laser cored into. So you get the same reaction. He had me get a 1% hydorcorizone ointment over the counter and it worked perfectly. good luck

could you possibly using a product that is irritating your face? maybe a reaction to paraben.
