Red itchy scars three days after laser treatment and being in sun with sunscreen?

jbergg123
I had laser therapy 5 days ago. I didnt have any problems within three days thereafter with any redness or scabbing. Three days after the laser I drove for three days in a car. I used a lot of sunscreen every day on my face bacause of the sun in the car. Two days later i got a red rash all over my face. It itches a bit and is red bruises, red dots etc. The sunscreen is a good one and I cant think its an allergic reaction to that. And after the laser my skin looked good until this.
