I’m 43- fair to medium skin tone. 5 weeks after Halo laser I’m still red/ brown with lots of hyperpigmentation appearing. Was on prescription cortisone cream for 2 weeks but it gave me bad acne. How will this persistant inflammation affect me long term? I’m scared. I’ve always been diligent with my skin and I’m so sad. How should I be treated now? What’s the best/worst I can hope for? Please advise me.
