Post Halo blistering / rash. Can I put anything on it to help them go away? (Photo)

Question

About 6-8 days after my halo treatment I'm getting these small blister like bumps all around my chin, mouth and nose. Some have a clear fluid in them, is there something that normally happens during the healing process? Can I put anything on it to help them go away? I was using the Cereve they gave me. My check up is still 7 days away and if this gets much worse I won't want to leave the house. My dr office was closed when I called.

I would contact your provider's office again to follow up.  They can access the skin and direct you on the proper protocol to help reduce irritation.

Hopefully things have already begun to clear.  Definitely check back with your treating physician.  It appears you developed a mild acneiform eruption that can happen on acne prone patients who apply too much occlusive ointment or cream.  Try to back off your CeraVe and ask your doc if it would make sense to use a short course of antibiotics or a topical acne lotion to dry those areas out.

It's best to follow up with your doctor to be evaluated. He/she can recommend medications or products that will help after assessing the bumps.
