My decision is still out on laser, until my treatments are finished, I guess. The effect of the treatments is awesome. Only shaved once in between first two treatments. I just had my 3rd treatment to the bikini. The first one I did not use numbing cream (BLT) and it hurt like crazy!!! No reaction. The 2nd time and this time, I used BLT and I have ugly reactions. The 2nd time it was a blotchy rash but not inflamed and itchy like 3rd time. I am taking antihistamines and cortisone cream, along with ice. I am unsure whether this is a fungal infection, herpes, or just a histamine reaction. I am waiting!? Does anyone know why it would be worse in the 3rd treatment? Suggestions?

Oh my goodness, you poor thing. :( That looks like it would be really uncomfortable. I would encourage you to post this in the GentleLase Q&A section. Hopefully one of the board certified doctors that volunteers on RealSelf will be able to shed some light on what this is/is caused from.
Have you talked to either the person who did the treatment for you about it, or your regular doctor?
