I recently used a product from Philippines, derma fairy skin set. Peeled and burned my face. Help me fix it please (Photo)

Question

For a week, I used the product and it peeled and burned my face, i stopped using it after a week because it stings and hurt so bad, can you help me how to heal my face burns and peeling due to the product. Thank you! The picture below shows my skin and the product, they said that the product is FDA approved thats why I used it, but it was the worst decision of my life, it ruined the side of my face, it has burn marks and peel marks. How to get rid of it, help me please.

A. David Rahimi, MD · Answer

Dear patient, It is hard to say from the photos but the burn appears relatively superficial. There is no scabbing or pus so it is probably not infected. I suggest a topical cream called Aquaphore ( a Vaseline like healing lotion) twice a day for 2-3 days. Then switch to a topical over the counter anti-inflammatory cream such as 1% hydro cortisone cream for 2 days. The most important thing is to keep the area clean and away from the sun to avoid blotchy and hyper-pigmented skin after the skin has healed. I hope this was helpful. Yours Dr David R.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

I agree with what Dr. Rahimi said. It's important to keep the area moist and protected from the sun. From your photos you appear relatively young which means your skin should repair itself quickly. If it continues or looks bad in about a month, I'd recommending seeing a dermatologist in person. Please know that there are no "skincare" products that are approved by the FDA. The FDA approves devices and prescriptions. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."
