“Fraxel Re:Pair - Red Bumps 3 Weeks Post Surgery”

acne or eczema?

It could be milia which I got after having Fraxel restore. Call your doctor and ask him/her what you should do. Who did your re:store here in Houston? How long after your treatment could you apply makeup and go out in public? Good luck.

some people get acne from fraxel but it usually goes away. some get dry skin post treatment which is basically eczema. try moisturizing and see if it helps.

Yes these leave scars and will not go away...It's not millia like many thought including me It's actually little burns that will eventually erode the skin because the laser went to deep on the thin skin of your forhead..Killing the fibroblasts ect needed for your skin to regenerate..It will end up looking like acne scarring... Deeper is not better..You need to be screened for skin cancer as well because the cells this laser doesn't kill but damages around the micro holes can mutate and give you skin cancer... Ask to try Aldara ect cream on a test spot to see if you have atypical cells if you don't it will do nothing after a few days use...At a minium it will boost your immune system to expell the junk the laser left left behind....And you could try a few session of micro derm if your doc says it's healed enough

I had fraxel repair 7 days ago. I am still deep red & have severe itching. I have been taking benadryl 3 times a day & doctor now has me on vanicream moisturizer mixed with a little vasolene.Would resuming the vinegar water soaks help with the healing & itching? This has been a horrible experience & i wish I had not had it done. Scared of what will happen with my skin in the future after reading all these posts.
