A member asked:

What would doctors recommend to help with redness from laser acne treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sun screen, steroid : You should have it evaluated if it is there for a long time. Short term redness is normal. After the skin is healed, it may be ok to use a small amount of Hydrocortisone cream to lessen the redness.
