What are the options for healing the skin after dermabrasion?

July 16, 2017
Asked By:solusista in Milwaukee, WI

After peri-oral dermabrasion, I had a strong reaction (red, itchy, bumpy rash) to the recommended cream (aquaphor). I also have milia. Doctor thinks it was a reaction to lanolin. I treated with cortizone + benadryl cream and the itchiness is improved, but I still have a lot of bumps. It's been a week since the reaction, but my face is still very pink and bumpy. Also, many of the wrinkles I had prior are still there. This was done in conjunction with face/brow/bleph.
