Follow-up question: Is this swelling and lots of sensation normal for my third microneedling treatment? (Photos)

thuynguyen1981
Hello doctors, this is my third microneedling and I’m experiencing swelling and lots of sensation of burning which didn’t happen in the previous procedures. I used vitamin C serum and numb cream with the procedure. Should I be concerned about the swelling? What over-the-counter drug should I use to help with swelling? Picture 1 was 2 hours after treatment, pic 2 was about 10 hours with swelling. Thank you for your help!
