Thank you for your question! Sometimes this can happen due to the increased settings with each treatment. Try not to scratch the area as much as possible to avoid further irritation. You may try taking an antihistamine and applying hydrocortisone a few times a day to relieve redness and itching. It is always best to avoid rubbing/scrubbing the area after a treatment and to avoid sun exposure, hot showers/baths, pools, oceans, jacuzzis, or hot saunas for a few days after your treatment to reduce further irritation of the hair follicles. Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers as well. Sometimes these rashes can result in hyperpigmented spots, but usually these spots resolve over time. If you do not notice an improvement or worsening of your rash, contact the person who performed your treatment so that you may be evaluated. Best of luck!
