nicolemar
I had fraxel on my hand 10 days ago and the skin is not healing or scabbing it is like an open wound it won't close up it's very raw and it is horrible I have to cover it because I can't look at it. What can I do to help it heal? Is there any medication I can take? I'm getting desperate at this stage I can't understand how fraxel is allowed to be used when results turn out like this. after my fraxel treatment I had a superficial blister than then popped a couple of days later. I need help ASAP
