What can I do about red spots and bumps worsening following PDL treatment for Rosacea?

September 22, 2016
Asked By:abateson in Calgary, AB

I have been struggling with rosacea. I have used lasers in the past to treat it and some treatments have left me with more permanent red spots and bumps. I've recently had 4 PDL treatments. At first it seemed to be helping with lessening the flushing. After the last two treatments I've been left with more small blood vessels, a few more red dots that are bumps that do not go away. I'm desperate to find something that works. What might work best for me?
