I received my second laser hair removal treatment to my back and shoulders over 48 hours ago and my skin has reacted completely different to my first treatment. Within 4-6 hours of the second treatment, my back was covered in these red itchy spots. Now (48 hrs post treatment) some redness has decreased and the area still remains quite itchy. Some spots have white heads, almost like pimples which can be popped. After my first treatment my skin never even got red
I got my first laser hair removal treatment under my chin and upper neck and the next day my chin and under my chin was severely swollen to the point where I could not look down and I was itching really bad. The nurses think I was having a severe allergic reaction to the histamine used. They prescribed some pills abs I have been taking them for 3 days but the swelling is slowly going away. Is this normal and how long will it take for the swelling to completely go away?
I've tried different kinds of wax including organic sugar wax. My dermatologist prescribed mometasone furoate cream to use after waxing, which helped only the first couple of times. The only thing that has always helped is being in the sun/tanning, but the weather's gotten colder now and I'm hesitant to go artificial tanning. Is there anything else I can do to help avoid this altogether or to speed up the process of healing it? Should I just not wax anymore and instead do laser hair removal?
So, the first time I had the same reaction but it was a week after I had a reaction. I had my 2nd session yesterday and by night I had the following reaction. My GP said it was foliculitis the first time but after the course of antibiotics it never went so I doubt it is that. Can someone help what else I should do to relieve the itchy feelings.
This is my second time getting my bottom legs lasered, first time I had redness but not as much. This time, it's been 2 days I'm suffering all day and night by itching and being in so much pain that it feels awkward walking. I can't wear pants, nothing. It's very bumpy, itchy and painful. I complained and they told me it's allergic reaction but I think it might be something else. They said I tolerated the pain well so they raised the strength as well. Please help!
I want to get laser hair removal on basically my entire body except my arms. They patchtested me on the Alexandrite laser and i got a rash that lasted 2 weeks and left a mark.They said it's because of the solution the laser uses and they patchtested me with a soprano next. This is the second day and i'm got huge hives that are swallen, itchy and hurt. I used aloe and I hope they'll go away in a couple of days. They used the Alexandrite on my face and it's itchy,but i don't have noticeable hives.
