Burns & Blisters from Laser Hair Removal

These are definitely burns and I would recommend that you absolutely DO NOT pop the blisters.  The blister fluid can aid in the healing of these blisters and in fact act like a biologic dressing.  In the meantime I would perform was warm soaks with a mixture of salt or tbsp of vinegar per pint of water.  I know this sounds wacky, but it works.  It has some antifungal and antibacterial properties.  I would avoid antibacterial creams or ointments because there is no infection and the odds of getting an allergy are significant.  Thus, I would follow the soaks with plain vaseline/petrolatum.  

There may be pigment changes or scarring, but difficult to tell.  I would believe no, but the wounds care is important.

Good luck.

Wow, these look nasty. They are 2nd  degree burns (blisters) and could leave scars and/or pigment changes. Often the scars can be minimal if the burn heals totally within 12 days but that is variable too. Keep the skin clean with regular tepid water rinses and apply an antibacterial cream such as Flamazine once or twice a day. Best to be monitored/managed by a doctor who has burn care experience. Best to leave the blisters intact but can trim away any loose skin where the blisters actually broke. Try to rest with your feet elevated to decrease swelling of the ankles and feet. A good sunblock for a year on these when healed may reduce risk of pigment changes.

One has to wonder if you had the wrong laser used and by this I mean was your particular skin pigmentation/color  and/or tan considered when the laser selection was done? Dark skin or tanned skin should not have IPL (not really a laser but sort of mixed in with lasers), here a YAG laser might be more appropriate and even here energy levels, etc have to be skillfully adjusted.

Right now these burns need good hygiene, antibacterial creams, elevation and protection from further trauma. Light dressings may or may not be used depending on your circumstances and activities.
