Do I have IPL laser hypopigmentation? (photo)

October 13, 2008
Asked By:drawnedlac in Salt Lake City, UT

I had IPL 1 week ago on my chest for hyperpigmentation. Should I be worried now about post treatment hypopigmention? Directly after the treatment I had erythema and blisters. I was told to ice and treat the area like a burn. I week later the area treated still has railroad track like lesions.
