Laser hair removal reaction. Any suggestions?

July 27, 2016
Asked By:Sylv2016 in Chile

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.

Is it common for laser hair removal treatment to cause pain/discomfort to teeth with silver fillings?
Steven F. Weiner, MD says:

This is a common complaint from patients. This can easily be overcome with placement of a gauze in the mouth. The laser is causing no damage when doing this so don't be concerned.
