Thank you for this encouraging post! May i ask what products you found helpful for sebaceous gland clogging which seems to be my ongoing issue after ++ years since Fraxel? Thank you.
Sorry for the confusion. I mentioned to my doctor that there were
other people experiencing similar issues since Fraxel and that I was
on a blog forum with them. She discounted this as "you can't believe
what you find on the internet". However when I looked under "Find a
doctor" from this website...my doctor is there...so frustrating. I
have suffered with this for 3 years I think now. When the lesions are
active they hurt. Lesions near my temples and on my forehead present
with associated sick, nauseating headaches. When lesions are near my
eyes I have reduced vision due to some sort eye infections or
inflammation. Lesions around my mouth and nose seem to be contagious?
as if I touch them by mistake then touch another area of my skin I get
a lesion there also. I asked the doctor to do a culture to see what it
is I need to treat. She refused and I usually can not even finish
telling her all the related problems before breaking down in tears and
rushed out of the appt. I asked for a second opinion at the same
clinic but from notes on my chart...I felt similarly dismissed.
Thanks for your concern.

Don't do it! My face is much worse than before zi did fraxel...3 plus years of constant break outs that are not acne or rosacea...doctors cannot diagnose but continuous lesions since my treatment.
I have the exact same experience where I have not had a single clear skin day for over 2 years nI have it under control....another appears just next to the first ulcer- ulcers take at least 7-10 days to heal and just when I think ...have never had acne as an adolescent and given the same options form my dermatologist on last visit....
