Hi i have ple. i am goin to have ipl hair removal and was wondering whether this will aggravate it? i take 5mg of hydroxychloroquine before holidayin

Probably not: Most of the time ple is brought on by sensitivity to ultraviolet light. That being said, i think it would be a good idea to have them shoot a test spot with the ipl and make sure you don't react before you go all out with the hair removal.
