Caking of sunscreen over laser scabs
It's been 9 days since my first fractional co2 laser resurfacing..I'm religiously using sunscreen even indoors..the sunscreen which I use is a thick cream based one which is adhering to my scab area and forming a white cast..its not coming off even after cleansing since I'm only gently dabbing cleanser over the scabs..my scabs are also not flaking off its already 9 days and there are no signs of infection ..how do I get rid of the white cast without damaging the scabs..
