Lumecca Painful

Lumecca is painful-I had my ankles and halfway up my legs done due to "freckling" caused by amolopine (blood pressure med which caused ankle swelling and blood to spill over causing the "freckling/staining"), First no pre or post instruction sheets were given to me. Next-it hurt-not like a rubber band snapping on you-like a needle stabbing you with every inch the handheld traveled around my ankles and up my legs. Now my "freckling" is more pronounced-getting worried-when will it "flake off" its been 9 days! For 6 hours after treatment I had to put ice packs on my legs and take ibuprofans-now my legs itch like crazy-but cant scratch you are suppose to wait for it to flake off to avoid scarring.
