Question
Hi,
I am treating acne and eczema while I am doing LHR. Is it ok to use glycolic acid, lightening gel, elidel before and after laser treatments, in between, at all? I just hope it doesn't affect my skin tone or pigmentation.
thanks

Answer
Elidel is pretty much safe for use at any time unless the skin is buned or otherwise very irritated. You should interrupt the glycolics and lightening creams for about 5 days prior to laser, and resume as soon as your skin feels and looks totally normal, which can be from 3 to 7 days. If there is any peeling or other skin effects form the laser, make sure your skin is well healed before applying glycolics
