Asked By:jennjoom in New York, NY

I am 16 days post aggressive fraxel co2 laser. My forehead is still red, but that seems to be normal as far as I can tell. Bu, my right cheek has red streaks & red blotches. There is also a red mark between my eyebrows and a darker shaded area on my nose. My doctor prescribed triamcinilone acetonide ointment 0.1% and luxamed, neither of which seem to work. Do you think these lines & blotches will fade? What do you think about what he has prescribed for me? Should I be doing something else?
