Just a few weeks ago I was getting laser hair removal for the first time on my face and neck area. My face is fine but my neck has developed very red blotches, should I stop the procedure or is this normal? Very concerned, I have been putting Cortizone on it to hopefully make it go away. It has been like this for the last couple of days. What do I do?
