Damaged my Skin-3 Years Later I Am Still Dealing with Scars-craters & Alien Crop Patterns! - La Crescenta, CA

Hi fraxelvictim, I have dealing with horrible scars, for the past 3 years. I did not think that this would effect my spirit, self-esteem and life, so badly. I am trying to think more positive; they are only scars and that I need to have a fun productive life regardless. I find myself also looking at other peoples' skin, and thinking how flawless they are and also wondering "how bad my skin must look to them in this lighting" I have had a few people ask me if I had been in a car wreck?

Christine,
Have you heard of anyone having problems with craters that have this blue thread like stuff, that seems to cause a inflammatory reaction. What I believe happened was that I had fillers and the laser went too deep and too intense that it burnt the filler which then set up a foreign body inflammatory reaction.

It has been 2 years and 2 months and I am still dealing with scarring. It has done a number on my self esteem. I did not think I was that superficial that skin scarring could cause me not to go out and have a life, but it has.

Hi,
Welcome to the BIZARRO WORLD OF FRAXEL-FRACTIONATED C02 lazer damage.
I am 18 months out from Fractionated laser, I had fraxel about 6months prior. It has been A NIGHTMARE.
dOES ANYONE know of a doctor who fixes the problems. I have been to two dermatologists and a plastics doc that does laser and NONE of them knew what was going on.
I too have had SPONTANEOUS ERUPTIONS, SORES CRATERS, NO PUS, WEIRD BLUE STRINGS; OR HAIR FROM AREAS. I think what had happened is that the laser burned deep deep and at the areas of burn, created an inflammatory response, which caused this strange serous fluid- which then further damages the area-like a chemical burn.

Eighteen months and still having inflammatory areas of granulation large scars--it has been a nightmare.
