hi,
i'm sorry to hear of your condition and obviously would like to help. i really think that this sophisticated laser question should go to a cosmetic dermatologist in your area. i am just not equipped to answer your question from this distance. sorry to disappoint.
best,

Thank you Dr. Lam, I am really so sad and disappointed to hear that, but if i got the chance to come to you on states there would be a treatment or its hopeless case?? because i went here to cosmetic dermatologist and there was a lot of contradiction answers some told me that its a physical disgrace and there's no treatment and some said that it will cost you a a lot of money and it will not disappear totally and I am really afraid to do this here in Egypt because they are not totally professional and they may burn my skin or to get worse than that.

i would love to treat you but honestly i don't think i am the right doctor. my main specialty is surgery of the face. for complicated brown areas, i would send this out to a cosmetic dermatologist. plus, it would most likely take many sessions. that is not fair to someone who lives so far away. although i would be honored to be your physician, i just don't think there is a match in this case. i hope you find the right doctor to take care of you.

sorry to give you some roundabout input, but typically fraxel is not great for your condition. typically, an Nd:YAG is preferable. something that targets brown. i don't know your situation but find a laser that works on deep brown in a selective fashion so long as a dermatologist says it is safe to treat your condition.
best wishes,

best wishes. i hope you get the right treatment so you can move on with your life. until then, i would encourage you to read my blogs. they are meant to heal the heart and soul. i believe you would benefit from them as much as you would a laser treatment. just click on the blog link on the top of my home page. :D
