Hello All, I am five weeks post treatment, which I found bearable!!! Skin has healed, if a little pink/darker in spots and all was well until I seem to have developed itchy hive like.spots on the edge of the treatment area! Has anyone else had this? It is driving me crazy at night. I am taking antihistamine, tried QV, Flamigel and othera but still itchy. Will it ever end?!?!?

Hi willow
yes i had itchy skin it does get better in time I still get episodes of it which drives me mad I just wash with cool water seems to take it away or I use instagel or lidocaine cream to numb the area to give relief.
im 8 months post treatment and still have issues with sore skin itching and fissures.
i hope you recover well.
