Answer: Redness after an erbium peel You need to go to your doctor with a bag full of all the product you are using right now. I am certain you have developed an irritant or allergic reaction to one of the products you are using. HQ products can do this. In my office we would stop all products, and switch to a calming cream that contains hydocortisone and aloe as well as Epionce Medical Barrier Cream. If you don't have access to these consider purchasing LaRoche Posay Toleriane cleanser and cream to help get the fire out.

Answer: Reduce HQ, consider Pulse Dye laser Yes, depending on the depth it can take 4-6 months for redness to disappear. If you are redder with HQ you many have sensitive skin- irritant or allergic reaction. I would discuss this with your specialist. The use of V Beam lasers and vascular lasers can reduce redness over the next few weeks. Dr Davin S. Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
