If i ask my dermatologist could i try flashlamp pulsed dye laser for my skin lesion would he let me?

Depends on lesion: Not quite sure what you are asking, but this would depend on the lesion. If the lesion is red and has hemoglobin in it, then the pulsed dye laser would be the correct treatment performed by a professional trained in lasers.
