Are Blisters Common After Laser Treatment To Remove Tattoo?

Hello I am recently getting a tattoo removed by laser the first 3 treatments felt like nothing, my 4th treatment blistered right after treatment, is this common? I have 2 more treatments to go and I m hoping the whole tattoo in gone. It is on my ring finger and still hurts after 1 week is this also common?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Yes sometimes due to intense energy released by laser, post reactional blisters can happen. Nothing to worry. Apply hydrocortisone and fusidic acid cream twice a day for few days.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks
