2 weeks PO. I have reddish and purpleish spots on my arm after laser hair removal on armpit. Is there a connection? (photos)

I had laser removal on the armpit area two weeks ago and a couple of days after, I noticed some tiny spots on the area. I asumed it was burnt as I have sensitive skin, after more days, I started noticing an intense itching on my right arm and I saw a bunch of spots. I do have sun allergies and last year I was exposed to an intense summer sun in Greece and a couple of spots like this appeared on my cleavage, but now, the only thing that may have hurt that area, is the laser. Is it possible?
