Asked By:herwan in Boston, MA

I recently had hair removal laser on my knee and thighs and it left red patches. Doesnt look like burns but extremely itchy. What is it? It has been 7 days. And the red has grown darker and rough to touch. I took antihistamin pills for the itch and applied a hydrocortisone type cream on it.
