Caking of sunscreen over laser scabs

2020-10-24 05:28:23
It's been 9 days since my first fractional co2 laser resurfacing..I'm religiously using sunscreen even indoors..the sunscreen which I use is a thick cream based one which is adhering to my scab area and forming a white cast..its not coming off even after cleansing since I'm only gently dabbing cleanser over the scabs..my scabs are also not flaking off its already 9 days and there are no signs of infection ..how do I get rid of the white cast without damaging the scabs..

Hi.The scabs of fractional co2 doesn't last for more that 2-3 days.please consult your laser surgeon if there is any element of infection is there or not.with copious amounts of moisturiser the scabs falls within 3 days.
