Summary
Allergic contact dermatitis to lanolin, a common moisturizer ingredient, can cause delayed healing after laser resurfacing. Early patch testing and switching to a lanolin-free product are crucial for recovery.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Laser Surgery
- Wound Healing
Background:
- Full-field erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser resurfacing is a common treatment for photoaging and scars.
- Expected re-epithelialization typically occurs within five to seven days post-procedure.
- Delayed healing can stem from infection, improper wound care, or allergic contact dermatitis (ACD).
