it's difficult to answer your question due to some key information that's lacking. for example "laser resurfacing" can be done any almost any body part. usually after laser resurfacing of the face we advise patients to keep the skin slathered with moisturizer at all times. that's because the laser can cause severe drying of the skin. however for some people all that goop on the face can indeed cause a breakout of pimples. i suggest you consult your provider to find out if what you're experiencing is normal and if so how to treat it. laser resurfacing of the face also can cause a flare-up of cold sores. if this is the type of "breakout" you're referring to then you again should consult your provider to see if you can take a prescription medication to treat the cold sores. whenever a person undergoes a procedure like laser resurfacing they should receive clear written instructions that detail post-procedure care. if you don't receive written instructions you definitely need to ask a lot of questions and take notes about how to care for your skin after laser resurfacing what the normal healing process entails and so on. hope this helps!
