A member asked:
I shave before lazor hair removal/get pimples on butt, shoulders , stomach. which prescription creams? salictylic acid ok, kenalog (triamcinolone) shots? baby powder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Folliculitis tx: It's helpful if shaving is done 3-4 days before laser hair removal. If pustules appear, acne medications may be helpful, such as a benzoyl peroxide wash. There should not be a lot of scrubbing as it may irritate hair follicles further. All benzoyl peroxide must be washed off the skin completely. There are also acne lotions that your doctor can prescribe to help.
