Asked By:Purple Orchid_123 in Sacramento, CA

I am three day post treatment - erbium YAG laser. I doesn't seem as though I am healing as I should be. I am still feeling a stinging sensation in my cheek area, which has developed redness around the treatment area. The redness is spreading on my nose. There are some areas that area peeling and I see the new pink skin. However, there is a brown outlined border around the new skin. On some of the treated areas, a brown dot has developed. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
