It's been a month and some odd days . The two scabs have still not healed completely , I'm not in as much pain but definite discomfort . My arm is itching so bad and those two scabs make lifting my arm feel tight . Also there is like deep tingling weirdness when I get goose bumps i dont like it - it worries me thst something is wrong deeper in my skin . All in all this has made my situation worse .

I'm going through something similar right now-- not as bad as you--- but I agree this is so draining. Ugh. And to think we paid to have this done to ourselves

It would probably be in your best interest to seek a certified Doctors medical examination of your situation.
I have had some serious treatments and the pain and trauma to my leg sleeve lasted three weeks tops!
It seems this has gone on much longer than it should .
In order for you to ease your mind and take appropriate action with the guidance of a physician aka check for nerve damage or infection etc ...
Why guess at what is normal or not normal when you can resolve the worries with a plan to feel better and ease your mind!

I'm not going back to the place I had it done - it makes me sick thinking about it . Litterlly sick to my stomach . I'm praying so hard that this can all end in my favor . I made the worst decision of my life doing this, I feel like a complete idiot . And now to think I may have nerve damage after only one trestment worries me sick I won't be able to have it touched up by a tattoo artist . Not only just that , but having to feel this discomfort for who knows how long . I'm making myself sick right now , I'm at work and profusely sweating because of my nerves . I'm legitly freaking out .... I'm going to doc today . Regular one to talk about this

When I first started with Picosure, my tattooed leg looked like hamburger. I limped around for a couple weeks. The throbbing pain was awful. I could hardly sleep at night. I also had tons of weeping ooze coming out. I stuck with though and after about a year and a half and 8 treatments, my tattoo is almost gone and my skin feel totally normal. Stay with it. It gets better and better.

I had to leave work yesterday due to a panic attack . My arm was in so much pain , I could hardly contain the tears flowing from my eyes . Who would have thought this was going to impact me so greatly . I can't stand looking at it . It's not faded nicely like all these other reviews on here . It's blotchy , you can see lines throughout my whole shoulder from where the laser hit ., it's strange and ugly . I need to calm down . And take it for what it is .

Have you spoken with the place that did the treatment? This sort of reaction seems extreme so I'm curious to know how they feel the healing is coming along. Stay strong!

They seem to think this is normal . They really did a number on me and have not taken my situation seriously .

Ugh . God . I'm miserable . This scab on my arm is so deep . It radiates pain around my whole bicep . I do not know what I did wrong to make this scab up like this . I follow aftercare instructions well . The pain today is pretty intense . I'm miserable .
