After treatment, seek advice for severe or increasing pain, blistering, spreading redness, unusual discharge, fever, or persistent numbness. These findings need clinical review rather than self-treatment.

Ask how the treatment will be tailored to your skin, how improvement will be judged, what alternatives exist, which risks matter for your medical history, and when a review should occur.
