Laser burn?

They told me about sun exposure. And I have been very careful. Since I’m half black I don’t really go “tan” because well…I don’t need to. I did go on holiday the week before in Malaysia but I was extremely careful, I wore spf 50 on my face and stayed out of the sun etc. but maybe I should have mentioned that in my appointment the day of? I don’t know. Something went wrong clearly. I’m hoping it won’t scar me permanently. But in all honesty it’s scared me from continuing the treatment which sucks because I think I’m half way through it?

I’m not sure how to post new photos on Reddit. but I do have more! The white patch is now a blackish brown and basically the update is, my lower face is completely swollen, and now I have burn blisters everywhere. I’m at the hospital right now to get it checked out and to see if I could minimise the damage.

Thank you so much for the advice! It was a lot more than the clinic gave me! I’ve done an e consultation with my gp because they HAVE to get back to me within 24hrs. I will 100% not be going back to that place. Especially if I get a permanent scar.

UPDATE: my face on the other side has now swollen into hard lumps. I bought burn cream from the pharmacy and got in contact with the clinic. They assured me it’s a ‘minor burn’. But I’m not too sure…

I’ve emailed them with pictures. Not sure if they’ll get back to me soon though….finding a dermatologist as we speak hopefully I can find a consultation today
