Red Spots from Pulsed Dye Laser
asked 2 years ago by Notperfect in Chicago, IL.
Latest answer by Harold J. Kaplan, MD
Question viewed 241 times
My appearance is same as the photo under redspots-pulse-dye-laser except that I am 3 1/2 weeks out. My doctor (without seeing me) prescribed triluma but I am hesitant. I have religiously stayed out of the sun, I am a light skinned female with no history of melasma, rosacea or acne. What can I do?
