Skin burn after laser hair removal in bikini area? (Photo)

April 18, 2017
Asked By:jennamal07 in Los Angeles, CA

I went in for my 2nd laser hair treatment on the bikini area, and had a bit of discomfort after and ended up with this burn looking thing. Not sure if the 'power' of the laser was on a little too high, although it did hurt more than usual, and I'm really worried. Doctor at the laser place said it was a bad reaction but it's killing me to feel uncomfortable and not be able to be intimate. I'm hoping this is normal but if not, I need to go to the doctor ASAP.
