I have been using tretinoin 0.1 gel on my thighs, face and chest. My skin became flaky and started to peel. I scraped the peel off and was left with sticky and shiny skin. Not that my skin was oily but was hella glassy. The next time I applied tretinoin I woke up with crazy itching and redness. I want to ask if this is normal and if not will it cause scarring or hyperpigmentation?
Hello, I did 2 chemical peels for my acne. It did a good job, but I still have some scars and pigmentation left. I have heard that microneedling is good for that kind of issue. First question :Do you suggest something else? Second question: how long should I wait after a chemical peel to do microneedling?
I have had two microneedling sessions for acne scarring with a registered practitioner. My face was very red after each session and I used CU3 Vaseline for the first few days. In my research into this procedure everyone seems to refer to the skin peeling after a few days and their noticing positive results. My skin has not peeled at all and I can see no improvement in my acne scarring, even for those scars that are moderately shallow. Is this because of the lack of peeling? Your thoughts please
I was taking a warm shower on the third day after my getting microneedling done. I was gently massaging my face during the shower to remove excess soap and my skin started to peel off. Now I am aware that skin normally does peel after microneedling, but is it normal for it to peel during a warm shower? Will this affect the end result because the skin peeled off in the shower? Will micro scabs formed leave a scar on your face if peeled off?
I peel after microneedling and this is my 3rd treatment but every time I've been rubbing it and picking at it and didn't know I wasn't supposed to! What happens if you peel/pick at the skin as it sloughs off after microneedling? How bad is it to do that?
So its been 4 days since I got microneedling done on my abdomen and I havent peeled. Ive been moisturizing everyday and it itches a little. I also havent noticed any scabs or red little dots. My skin color is brown. I was wondering do I have to peel or is this normal?
3 days post microneedling and my face looks horrible , looks like track marks on forehead after skin has peeled, under eyes look gaulded, sides of nose scabbed , and black pin point dots. Skin is peeling but the same marks are on new skin. Is this normal ?
