I had a bacterial infection 3 days after fraxel. It lasted about a week. The skin around my mouth went from red to pink to brown. Im about 3 weeks post procedure. Im pretty much allergic to topicals like hydroquinone. Please, someone tell me how to fix this fast. Im miserable and my doctor doesnt care. Ive become a recluse and I just want my life back. I had no idea this was even a possibility, had I been informed I wouldnt have went through with fraxel.
My skin type is III/ IV. I had Fraxel 3 weeks ago done by a TOP dermatologist and got Impetigo infection ...according to the doctor that treated me. Wast treated with Antibiotics . The infection is now completely cleared. Went for a second opinion with a renowed dermatologist and he said that this was NOT impetigo but is a burn from the Fraxel. Now my skin have a red/ Pink scar and the surrounding tissue is dark. Im treating with Azalex. Will this go away ?How this scar can be treated?
I had a spot treatment for an acne scar with fraxel laser7 days ago. I developed an infection the next day and was put on antibiotics and muciproin. I feel my face was burned! I worry about scarring:-(
2 days ago I had a fraxel laser resurfacing done to a scar right below my lip and the dermatologist injected the area with lidocaine and ephinepherine. My lip blew up and became very swollen and has not gone down for 48 hours straight. I got a shot of Benadryl and am on steroids but neither are helping so we have ruled out infection or allergic reaction. The doctors say they don't know what to do or how to fix it. Please help!!!
My skin type is III/ IV. I had Fraxel 3 weeks ago and got Impetigo 3 days after Fraxel. Wast treated with Antibiotics . The infection is now completely cleared but my skin where the infection occurred is now pink/red .Will this discoloration/scarring be permanent? What type of treatment can be done to minimize this ? Thanks
