Face, Eyes, Swollen, Itchy After Pixel Laser Treatment. Using Ice Packs, Aquaphor. Suggestion
I had the pixel laser treatment on Thursday. It is now Saturday night, I have not slept in 2 nights, my face, eyes are really swollen and itching. I am using ice packs every hour for 15 minutes and keep aquaphor on my face all the time. I use a cleanser and vinegar/water spray 3 times a day. I am suppose to be able to go back to work on Monday BUT the swelling is overwhelming and nothing seems to be working to get it to go down, along with the itching. The dr said "pixel on one day, back to work 3 days later"...SO not my case. any suggestions I am in pain and missing too much work

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It may be because of laser treatment moreover you have tampered it, it would have been gone away without any treatment but now you already applied many things now leave it like that only just keep the area clean with simple tap water it will definitely come around, have nice day.
