Red bumps after Halo. Is this normal?

Melinda8253Sep 1, 2018

I agree with my colleagues below.   You appear to have hyper pigmented in these areas.   Follow up with your provider.  Often a topical hydroquinone can help to fade theses.   Your provider should have a protocol in place to treat this issue.  Best of luck to you!
