Asked By:jamiebrown10 in Raleigh, MS

This is my second time microneedling, I had a few small bumps on my face prior to this season but they weren’t oozing or inflamed. The next day I started getting a ton of bumps around the sides of my nose and woke up with white heads. Will they heal? Is this normal? When can I go in for a facial?
