Question

Hello. I got keratosis pilaris (chicken skin) on my thighs after laser hair removal. Should I discontinue LHR ? What can I do for these to go away

Hello, thank you for your question. Actually, the "chicken skin" or KP will resolve on its own as you continue with LHR. You may consider using a lactic acid pad or Amlactin lotion to help with the KP but stop it 1 week prior to your next LHR as it could cause photosensitivity.
