Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I noticed that after laser hair removal, the skin of the inner labia has turned gray. I am worried. Please help.

Answered by Dr. Lorena Zijaj

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Maybe the area has burned a little. It would be better if you have uploaded a photo to tell exactly what happened.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I have attached a photo. The skin inside is so gray and white. It is the same on both sides, with a little discomfort and no pain. I would say I am feeling damp.

Answered by Dr. Lorena Zijaj

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Usually, the laser does not work at the labia minor. It does not seem to be serious. It is a superficial burn injury. Anyway, you can use Hyaluronic acid cream. Apply at the labia minor three times a day, and try to maintain the surface dry.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I was so worried, and it was serious. Will it heal on its own? My other question is about the spots I have on my buttocks. I feel they are new. I want to know if it is acne or something else? And what can I do to make them go away permanently? I tried Fucidin treatment twice a day for a week, but no results. It is making me feel very insecure and I have attached a picture for your reference.

Answered by Dr. Lorena Zijaj

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, you can wait for about seven days and can see if it can heal by itself. And after that, you can try the cream that I recommend. About the buttocks, it is quite common on the view I saw (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You do not have to be insecure. It is quite normal.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
