I went to get a laser session to remove my tattoo a few days ago. The dermatologist used an Nd-YAG laser with multiple (I think 7) intensities on the same day. He gave me an antibiotic cream to apply and some bandages. A few days later, the redness subsided but I was left with a large patch of yellow on my chest. Is this a sign of infection or will it fade away eventually?
