What Do Red Colored Spots On Legs After Laser Procedure Indicate?
Question: I had a laser procedure on Friday to remove dark spots on my legs caused from the sun. My spots are now dark red and a couple have blistered. Today a little painful. The owner of the medispa said not to put anything on them. I am concerned she was too aggressive and I want to prevent scarring if I can.
Any recommendations?

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

You can discuss with your treating doctor about using lignocane gel(topical anesthetic). It will reduce the pain intensity
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.

You did not address my concern...scarring. Anything I can put on the sores to reduce scarring and heal faster...aquaphor? Vitamin E? Any vitamin I can take to make my legs heal faster? Did you get the photos I attached??

It will take some time to heal itself. Scarring comes later. At this moment following measures will help for quick recovery:
- Apply Betamethasone as valerate 1mg cream over the lesions thrice a day in small amounts.
- Multivitamin syrup(e.g B-complex) one TSF daily for 10-14 days
- contratubex gel (heparin and allantoin) has shown significance resuls in improving scar. You can use them once your active spots heal.
I will be looking forward for the answers to conclude the discussion in the best interest of yours.
