Another Botched V beam?
So long story short, I had thyroid cancer and two surgeries on my neck to remove my thyroid. I had a thin scar which my derm and surgeon injected a few shots of steroid in to help heal. I was told by my derm that the steroids caused the redness around my incision. The incision healed amazing, but there was slight redness which my derm recommended one round of V beam laser for. She said it was a super gentle laser and should only cause bruising. It started that way at first, but after about 2.5/3 weeks all my skin started to break down and now I have a large hole in my neck. Im absolutely distraught. The derm apologized and said theyve never seen this happen before and to just stick a hydrocolloid bandage on it and see how it heals. Has this type of wound happened to anyone else after the v beam laser?
