Is hypopigmentation permanent after laser hair removal burn? (Photo)

July 28, 2018
Asked By:aldimm in Houston, TX

I was burned during laser hair removal. The following day a dermatologist gave me a cortisone shot and topical cream ( mometasone) which I used for 7 days. My scabbing came off and I now have Hypopigmentation. Will this white spots be permanent? Will they improve ? I’ve been told to stay away from the sun, but I have also heard that gradual sun exposure (1-2 min) very 2-3 days may help improve the appearance as the white patches may tan.
