Are Red Bumps on Throat After Sciton Fractional Laser Normal? (photo)

April 13, 2013
Asked By:Kateytown in New York

On Wednesday I had a Sciton Profractional laser on my face. Although red, things are ok. On Friday and today, however, I developed pronounced red bumps on my throat. Is this just a reaction to the doctor going along the jawline area and slightly below? I'm washing often and coat my face (not my throat) with vaseline (what I'm supposed to do). Trying to keep the vaseline away. I am taking Benadryl (for itchiness and swelling). The neck doesn't itch. Typical post-surgery breakout? Thanks!
