Hello ma'am, would it be possible to know the name of the medication you are taking?

57-year-old woman · 2 years ago

Hello,

Yes, certainly.

ESTROGEL Gel

and PROGESTERONE 100mg (prometrium)

I am asking this question because I would like to have laser treatments to remove pigment spots.

Thank you very much

Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification!

The manufacturer of Estrogel states that the product may be photosensitizing. What I would recommend is to treat a small area the first few times to evaluate the tolerance afterwards, it will give us a better idea for you.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
