Hi D – yes, there is definitely a higher chance of aggravating your eczema with laser treatment.
Your doctor may choose to use a lower powered laser setting to see what happens initially, and to minimize the chance of a flare up.
It’s hard for me to comment on whether it’s worth it for you to bite the bullet as you didn’t give me any other pertinent details – ie how well controlled your eczema is, how many flares you’ve had, how severe are your flare ups etc.
The worst that could happen is you get a bad flare up of your eczema. I’d suggest ensuring your eczema is well-controlled first before seeking a doctor for further advise and treatment for your acne scars. Unfortunately, all treatments for acne scars have a chance of making your eczema worse as well.
In this situation, the best doctor for you to seek advise from for treating your acne scars when you have a background of eczema is a dermatologist.
Cheers
