Posted under Microneedling q&a

I had microneedling done 2 days ago by a dermatologist for the first time. Why is my entire face red, swollen and very itchy?

I can’t barely recognize myself due to the swelling. I also started to develop white pustules around my face and is covered with rough bumps. Is this normal and will this subside?
