White hyperpigmentation from laser hair removal on arms. (Photos)

Asked By:sd134913 in Orlando, FL

I received laser hair removal one month ago. This was a touch up appt as I had a small patch of hair. I'm Hispanic and live in FL so my skin is tan. Immediately after the treatment the skin was slightly red + developed mild burns. I applied aquaphor. After two weeks fresh skin appeared. Problem is there is little pigment (white marks). Parts are regaining pigment but at a slow pace. Should I stay it of the sun at all times? Should I see an MD? I of course will discontinue any further treatments.
