Severe Orange Peel Texture after CO2 Laser. Is this post-laser milia? Scarring? (Photo)

Asked By:Inventive6466 in New York, New York

I got a fully ablative CO2 laser 7 months ago and have been struggling with a horrendous texture that appeared after and has seemingly worsened in the past 3 months. The skin is glossy/shiny. It has a rough texture with hypertrophic bumps everywhere. The skin doesn’t look like skin. I can only go outside at night. Is it post-laser milia? Is it scarring? Is it recoverable from?
