Can hair laser removal cause chronic urticaria?

February 28, 2022
Asked By:KallD in Scotland, United Kingdom

Hi, I had one laser treatment about 3 months ago on my legs, bikini and armpits with no issues. After 24 hours red bumpy itchy rashes appeared around my neck and scalp but not on the treated areas. After that incident those rashes appeared more and more often and now it is almost every day. Sometimes along with the rashes I have angioedema as well. I take antihistamines and they disappear. When I stop they immediately appear again. Is there any chance this condition is caused by the laser?
