Hyperpigmentation 7 Weeks After CO2 Laser Removal of Sebaceous Hyperplasia
scaredbutoptimisticDec 21, 2010
I Am 7 Weeks Post Op for Co2 Laser Removal of a Sebaceous Hyperplasia Under my Right Eye. The settings of the laser were 1 pass, 4 watts P22. It was bright red 2 weeks ago and is now a darker red. My PS said it is not hyperpigmentation. I have used aquaphor, hydrocortisone 1%, hydrocortisone 2.5%, cutivate .05% and a pack of oral steriods. My PS will not prescribe Group 1 or Group 2 topical steroids due to thinning of the skin. His ARNP stated today that it will clear up with "time." I am not seeing much progress at 7 weeks and would like to know your opinion regarding this.
