Asked By:skylee30 in Los Angeles, California

My derm said I have Keratosis Pilaris Rubra, not to be confused w/Keratosis Rubra. I have Round flat red Dots all over legs. My friend has the same issue. She did 2 Vbem laser sessions a few months ago and had to d/c since she developed white spots all over her legs, as if it is now discolored. She is olive skin like me, Hispanic. Is PDL not recommended for Olive skin? Is PDL not the right procedure for these dots? Is there anything else I can do for this? Glycogen peels didnt work
