Hello it has been a year sense I had a treatment and I stay out of the sun now. I should go for two more treatments though one for my chest and one more for my face sense I still see a few spots but nothing like it was. I use glycolic wash and lotion to keep my skin fresh now. My doctor has been amazing and I really can't recommend him enough.

Hi there. I just had my PDT yesterday and woke up this morning with whiteheads all over my face and neck. I don't have any burning, pain or swelling today (day 2) but the whiteheads are a disaster. No itching or burning either, but I am sunburned and tight. Do you think it is just the bad stuff in my skin coming to the surface causing all of the white pus filled bumps. When I went in for the procedure yesterday and didn't have a pimple on my face.

Well the skin I had removed from my cheek area was cancer as well. The cells underneath it are normal so no surgery on that but their are a few dark spots forming next to the scar so they said I may be doing a Levulan session again some time in October. Always remember to wear sun-screen.

Reading your comments has been a great help to me in deciding whether I should keep my PDT appointment next Thursday. I'm not looking forward to it, but it's better than the alternative. I've been told I'll only need 2 treatments -- is that what you were told at first, or was it evident you would need more than that from the beginning? Good luck with your treatment this month, if it's decided you need one. Hopefully you won't have the allergic reaction!

Had to have a spot on my cheek removed and it has left a small scar. They feel 1 more treatment will be good to get the few spots that remain. I have been staying out of the sun and that has been a plus for not damaging my skin more.
