Ive been getting deep red bumps that feel like in-grown hairs, usually show up about 10-14 days after laser. They last for weeks sometimes 2 months or more (and end up leaving scars), and arent receptive to any topical cleansers or creams (SA, benzoyl peroxide, AHA/BHA, glycolic acid, antibiotics) or exfoliating. Have seen a dermatologist who gave me a BP/antibiotic cream that didnt do anything. These also can occur all over my body but primarily on my neck.
When I was having my laser session I saw swelling all over my body then it turned into bumps (full legs &arms). My doctor gave me medicine fucicort and E45 cream. He told me it should take up to 3 days but it has been almost 10 days and it is not getting better. It never happened to me before. P.S the doctor did not ask for any skin test before the laser session and I don't know if I can continue the sessions or not?
I have had 2 session of laser hair removal and after the first I saw no issue. I had my second session halfway through May and only noticed a few red bumps on the top of my bikini area a week or 2 ago. They're not itchy and it's not sore. I do have sensitive skin and used to suffer really bad with dry skin. I also have hayfever. I just want to know if there's any cream or medication I may have to take to get it to clear up. Thank you .
I have finished my laser hair removal from a year ago and I have developed skin bumps on my bikini line (attached pic) . They didn't disappear with time. Is their any treatment?
I had my first Brazilian laser treatment done almost 30 days ago. Since then I've experienced a lot of itching and swelling and small raised bumps especially after I shave. Its almost unbearable. I've been to the doctor twice and all results come back negative for STD's, infections, etc. Except she did notice a large amount of white blood cells and gave me an antibiotic. I have dark hair and light skin. Also, I've noticed an increased amount of ingrown hairs since this treatment.
I had my first ever laser hair removal a few days back for my legs and underarms. After 3 days I broke out in severe folliculitis. I got pus filled bumps all over my legs, but my underarms seem fine. I have never had folliculitis before. I am taking antibiotics since 4 days but it doesnt seem to be getting any better. Will it leave any permanent marks on my skin? Should i continue with the next laser sessions?
I recently got laser hair removal on my chin and neck area. This is my first session in years since I stopped doing the treatment. I never remember having had a reaction like this after laser hair removal on my face. I got it done yesterday and now today my chin and neck area are filled with white puss filled bumps that look like pimples, and I don't know what I should do. The doctor did switch to a more stronger laser than the last time. Also, my skin is very oily and sensitive .
