Are Large Blisters Common After Laser Therapy?

October 11, 2008
Asked By:ljeanne429@aol.com in Gasquet, CA 95543

The blisters broke and opened up. The technician that did the lazer therapy took me into a room looked at my legs and said I looked normal. I was in a great deal of pain and did not like the red area around the sores. Finally after another week and not getting better, I called in and said I needed antibiotics. I am into the 24th day and still feeling discomfort. I have deep scabs and redness around some areas. Can you tell me if I am exeriencing a normal reaction or if something went wrong?
