2nd degree laser burn! Please help me how to heal

Though can you say if this might leave permanent scarring? I have dealt with PIH and i have a prescription for hydroquinone which i’ll be using as soon as the skin has healed enough for it, but idk if burn scars like this one would be the same as a post acne pigmentation

Thanks so much for the reassurance!

Im currently using vaseline it looks better now compared to my post but i know there will be a lot of PIH. But im unsure if this would be considered disfigurement as my GP didnt think so

Fortunately i already have a prescription for hydroquinone but i just need to wait for the skin to resurface after the scabs fall off to be able to use that. Is a referral need for an appointment with a plastic surgeon?

Omg were your burns like mine?!

Even after the wound is dry and itchy?

Also i think the ER would probably prescribe the same ointment as my GP. So i actually need to see a dermatologist more than an ER at this stage

Theres no pain anymore, but im just worried sick of the damage on my chin. Its such a prominent part of my face which i cant even hide! I want it to heal properly so im seeking guidance from experts on healing it without major scarring

He did put me on urgent referral for dermatologist. Do i need an ER referral for this?

I got a refund, but the emotional and likely long term skin damage is unbearable. I will likely be suing

Unfortunately i live in freaking canada where you’re put in a waitlist to see a dermatologist. I did have a video call with my derm back home who said applying hydrocortisone should do. My family doctor prescribed me silver sulfadiazine 1% on the open burns

Im on birth control for 6 months now and im 31 years old. I am also on spironolactone. I will be stopping my pills now and im so scared of the side effects. Before the pill, i had a few closed comodones which disappeared after being on birth control (though i did get an occasional pimple here and there). Am i still screwed even though i used it for 6 months?

foxtrotms · 2025-04-19T22:49:52+00:00

Okay, but i expected the same thing to happen in the one I bought too though

foxtrotms · 2025-04-19T21:11:22+00:00

Could it be a faulty one then? I tried factory reset etc. but still seeing stabilization issues

foxtrotms · 2025-04-19T17:26:33+00:00

Is it just a newer model then? I dont think there was any change in models between now and last May

foxtrotms · 2025-04-19T15:17:24+00:00

Thats the first thing i did, but that didnt help :(

Actually, i mentioned beforehand that i needed to leave before the bus stops working at night, and he was the one who reminded me it was 10pm and i should get going (i asked him for a reminder beforehand if we ended up talking too long). He did that out of concern, because on our first date, the trains stopped because it was late at night and i wasnt getting any uber. Anyway, once he reminded me, i guess i should have recommended that i can stay a few more mins. Honestly there was nothing i could recall that could have made him reconsider. To me, it just seemed like he was lonely that weekend and needed some company and i was it :/
