In addtion to the redness, etc. that we were forewarned about he has black dots and freckle like spots. They are hard to describe. I asked the RO about it today and he acted like it was common and I asked him should we see a dermatologist and he said yeah after treatment. Has anybody experienced this? I would love some input and to hear stories. I have tried using different keywords to search here and to search on google and I can't find what I'm looking for. Thanks!
