Hi Awalk, contact me offline so I can find out more about your case and look at your pictures. My email address is {edited} and you can find out more about me in the Expert Section.

Barbie S, If you could provide more info, we could help more thoroughly. Tell us as much as you know about the following: Settings, post-care regimen(putting on face immediately post-tx), and anything else you had on your skin prior or during treatment. It could be many factors. Let us know as much as you can and we can sort this out better. So far the leading candidates would be infection or irritation with a skin care product.

See your doctor or a dermatologist. This could be a fungal infection. Candida is the most commmon fungal infection.

awalk, great info about germs and laundry. Do you have any information on germs on paper towels? I just pulled out an old article on CO2 Laser Treatments of the Neck. This article suggested White Vinagar Soaks using "Baby Washcloths". You can buy them new for a few bucks at Target or WalMart and launder them seperately from other clothes. awalk, what do you think of this. Would you use paper towels or new baby washcloths? awalk, I really appreciate your interest in this area. I really think it has important clinical value!

awalk, I agree with many of your points about the Laser Industry (the laser companies) and the FDA. Lots of problems with how these agencies and these companies operate. Make sure you find a doctor who is very experience and very well trained.
