My skin never did burn or blister; I simply walked out with white spots everywhere. Now I'm hoping that's still the same "injury" as hypopigmentation and Alex7878 had because they recovered 100%. I think it is and the extra melanin in my skin (I'm black) just prevented an actual burn. I'm doing controlled sun exposure now and have only slight improvement on my upper arms so far. I'll post my progress but if anyone wishes to talk directly just send me a message. I know how bad this sucks.....
I have the EXACT same issue that 'hypopigmentation' has described. My entire body is covered in round, white spots. I went to the dermatologist and he didn't seem too worried but that still hasn't eased my fears. He said to stay out of the sun and it should repigment on its own. However, like 'hypo' stated, I also thought my skin could use some sunlight and am now taking her advice re: tanning w/ SPF. I just started this week so I won't know it works for a while. BTW, I am now 11 months post-laser so I'm pretty sure any underlying damage has healed. But my skin still looks the same. If anyone would like to discuss or see pics please email me. I'm DESPERATE for a resolution to this.
