I got microneedling done yesterday and it was pretty red like a sunburn and then this morning when I woke up- my entire face is full of bumps and my face is all itchy. Is this normal and will the bumps go away? Ps- some of the bumps had white stuff on it- not acne Whitehead. Also I had no active acne on my skin before the treatment. How many days till it goes away on its own? Anything I can use to help with the itchiness??
