Is this normal for microneedling? 3 days post-op. (photos)

June 6, 2018
Asked By:Kraf35 in Florida, FL

3 days ago I had microneedling done. I woke up the next morning w/whiteheads that progressed throughout the day. This morning I woke up and they are much more agressive; it seems like my swelling and redness is getting worse. The whiteheads itch and sting terribly. I am also drooling and having a hard time talking, eating and drinking. I called my doctor 3 times and she says it is all normal except the drooling but that I probably having an underlying medical condition I should see a doctor for.
