Fractional Co2 Laser Oozing. Worried the Oozing Will Scar?

July 7, 2012
Asked By:viczhou

I did a full face fractional laser treatment. My face became really swollen on the second day and oozing accelerated from the second day. The oOze color turned from light yellow to dark brownish yellow. I'm on antibiotics but seeing a swollen face and ooze really freaks me out. My Doctor is going to give me more meds against viral infection. I'm worried the oozing will scar. I'm not using any topicals other than just dabbing face with saline solution. Would appreciate your views
