Laser hair removal reaction. Any suggestions?

Question

I had laser hair removal treatment two days ago on my legs. I had taken a medication for a cold the day before and this seems to have produced a reaction. My legs have blotchy red and white bumps that are extremely itchy. What should I do. Many thanks.

In our practice, we have seen these reactions, it does depend on the laser, skin type, and the settings that were used, as to why there would be a reaction.  But using aloe on your legs will help with healing and the itching.
