Answer: This is pretty common We have seen this in about 15% of our patients. It responds very quickly and well to low dose topical steroids (the kind you can but without a prescription at the drug store labelled Cortisone). I recommend treatment as soon as it happens as some patients who are very sensitive to pigmentation may start to see some come back if they do not treat the outbreak. Luckily there have been no long term or adverse effects once you treat it and it usually goes away in a few days.

Answer: Reaction after Pico Genesis We have seen a few patients that have had a histamine reaction to Pico Genesis. You are not alone. We would recommend that you first contact your provider and advise them of your reaction and discuss taking a histamine blocker. And lastly, know that the reaction is not long term. The few patients that have had a reaction, still completed their treatment series and were very happy with the results.
