This lovely patient has a condition called keratosis pilaris rubra which causes rough bumps on the lateral cheeks in a background of redness and intense flushing. Here I am using the pulsed dye laser to reduce her overall redness and help treat the inflammatory component of this chronic condition. This laser is a workhorse for me: dilated blood vessels on the face, chronic sun damage, redness left over from acne or rosacea, scars, birthmarks, cherry angiomas, more! | Dermatology Duluth
