Sorry about your symptoms, Claire. I have to say that nothing like that happened to me. I hope it clears up for you, it sounds painful.

Hi Claire,

I did but it was immediately post CK... approx 2-4 wks after treatment. I got all red/hot faced, broke into forehead sweats (almost like hot flashes)... but mine subsided fairly quickly... only the first month did I experience it.... hoping your's passes quickly.

Hang in there!
