Asked By:nikisha_fleiz in brunei

is it normal that it became like this? its very itchy, very red and shiny at the same time after it started to peeled off. due to itchiness i tried to remove the peeled skin , considering that it says on the instructions not to peel it off, but i just cant help it coz its too itchy. would it lead to hyper pigmentation or it will even be lighter? i put some bethametasone lotion during the itchiness attack. as off now im applying a whitening cream. will it help to lighten the areas?

Yes- try a few very light Glycolic peels. I usually start my patients with %20, then $25%, %30 and maybe even %50 glycolic peels. Please do it in a doctors office. In addition you should use SPF 30 and a bleaching cream (2% Hydroquinone). These treatments are safe even while on Accutane.
