Pimply Spotty Skin After Rhinoplasty/Eyelid Surgery?
I had rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery 3 months ago in Asia and since then my face (cheeks, chin, forehead) has become increasingly pimply and irritable causing spotty and rash-like symptoms. My nose is very oily, especially in the mornings but I understand that this is normal after surgery. I am just very worried about the spotty skin that has occurred since surgery as previous to having anything done my skin has always been very clear and spot free. Any medications to take?

Acne Following Rhinoplasty
Breakouts can occur after Rhinoplasty, commonly from tape and splint placement. I often recommend over the counter Cetaphil to my patients. It is a gentle cleanser that helps significantly with these breakouts. This problem should only be temporary, so not to worry.

Yes, it is important to have excellent nasal skin washing techniques after rhinoplasty. I learned this from my Cosmetic Dermatology colleagues!

Thanks for the comments so far. It has now been nearly six months since I have had rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery and my skin seems to have got worse. I have been following a very strict cleansing routine for the last 2 months and eat a good healthy diet. Is this problem likely to persist as it is making me feel rather anxious and depressed as I had plastic surgery to improve my looks and the opposite has happened so it seems.
Cetaphil was an excellent recommendation. It doesnt dry out my skin like the other cleaners and its completely grease free.
Is there medication that I can take perhaps?
