Hi I had laser resurfacing 3 days ago and the pain is so bad, my face is swollen and oozing yellow pus! I am cleaning my face every few hours and applying Nova incentive tissue repair creme.I have got pockets of pus under my eyes and these are very very painful.I was told it would just be like sunburn! I'm worried I'm going to end up scarred for life! I didn't have wrinkles under my eyes but looked tired all the time and I was starting to get a few lines on my lips.Is this normal pls??
