I had a skinpen treatment on Thursday night. Friday I had a bit of swelling and redness but not much. Saturday I had more redness and swelling and a burning tingling sensation in my skin. I had a hard time sleeping with the tingling, stinging, burning sensation going on and this morning (Sunday it is even worse). I tried Benadryl but it made no difference.

Answer: Microneedling and infection These symptoms you are having sound like an infection. If you have pain, swelling, and tingling sensation that is getting worse as days go by it is concerning. It is best for you to seek help from a provider who treated you. Hope you feel better soon.

Answer: Microneeedling and infection risks. This sounds like you have an infection, with increasing pain. If the skin barrier is breached, i.e. pin point bleeding after micro needling, I always use an special antibiotic ointment or oral abs after the procedure, only for 2-3 days . If there is pain, 99% of the time its an infection (unless you have contact or irritant dermatitis), please see your specialist who performed this procedure- easy fix with early intervention .Dr Davin Lim .
