What Caused my Red Itchy Bumps/rash on my Legs After my Second Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

May 17, 2012

I had my second lower leg laser hair removal treatment 3 days ago. The first treatment, no issues. This treatment, I woke up thr next morning with tons of itchy, red bumps all over my lower legs. I have tried to not itch, but they aren't going away! What should I put on them? And how long will they last? Will they scar? Also, at the same time as my second lower leg treatment, I had my first upper leg treatment, but my upper legs have no bumps at all! What can I do to prevent this next time?
