Can I get a laser hair removal on an area where there is a boil/large pimple? Folliculitis

January 9, 2018
Asked By:annamendoza in Bronx, NY

I spoke with my derm and she told me that my recurring "boils" in my pubic area is due to my very coarse and curly hair. Also my hirsutism. She says that laser hair removal would dramatically help. Thing is, I don't know if it's ok to go get laser hair removal when I have big ugly boils in that area that are still healing. Is this an issue for estheticians?
