Pimple with pus in lasered bikini area - soprano alma laser.

October 30, 2016
Asked By:specku in South Africa, ZA

I noticed what seemed to be a small pimple / bump in my bikini area before my first laser hair removal treatment with soprano alma laser. Its happened before but usually clears up. It's now 3 weeks since treatment and the bump appears a little bigger with puss. Do I go ahead with next treatment (in a week)? Should I treat it with something or attempt to pop it (is the latter even an option!). Please advise.
