Laser Therapy for Eczema: Does It Work?

Can Lasers Remove Eczema Scars?

Eczema itself shouldn’t scar, but it may leave behind post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This can worsen with phototherapy or excimer treatment because those areas will darken or tan more than unaffected skin when exposed to the rays.

There are other types of lasers that may help reduce the appearance of scarring from different forms of skin damage.

Talk with your doctor about reducing that appearance of scarring on your skin. They may have other recommendations and methods that can help reduce the appearance of scars on the skin or address uneven pigmentation due to eczema.

To reduce the chance of skin damage, do not scratch or pick your skin during a flare.
