Had my 5th session of IPL for rosacea on my face on Tuesday, it is now Friday afternoon. I am fine with swelling and coffee grounds, they will go down, but this is the first time I have had anything like this. Will it go away by itself, and if not, what am I going to do about it? There is a pimple shape which is raise 9blister?) and then the blood lines benind it are bigger and redder, not brown. I am very concerned.
