Will laser hair removal on my armpits cause itching?

Dr. Jason Hess answered

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Laser hair removal: Laser hair removal will more likely cause pain that itching. Pain is generally present with application of laser, however, it will quickly resolve. Itching is possible when any inflammation occurs. This may be improved with hydrocortisone cream. I hope this helps
