What to do when burnt in vaginal and anus area after Laser Hair Removal? (photos)

laserhelp123Jun 24, 2015
I went and got laser hair removal on my vaginal and anal area. It didn't leave any marks but it burns to go to the bathroom really bad. I also just randomly started bleeding . Heavier than spotting lighter than a period. I have been putting aloe an antibiotic over the counter numbing cream, and a prescribed nystatin cream. Also have been sitting under the fan with my legs spread. But why is my outer labia kind of wrinkly and how do I get my normal soft skin back. It was not like this before.

It is generally recommended that you wait at least 6 weeks after waxing to get laser hair removal. This is to ensure that you get the maximum benefit from your treatment. That being said, any hairs that were visible were adequately treated. If you can see the hair then the root is treatable.
