Hello. I used to have active acne skin, but now its not active anymore. I have a Microneedling appointment tomorrow. They told me to stop my skincare that containt active ingredients like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. I did that since 4 days ago. But now Im getting al these small whiteheads? I think its because my pores are getting clogged. I do use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser. But I want to know why I am getting al these whiteheads and what I fan do about it?
What caused them? They have an appearance similar to white heads but there isn't anything in them. My face was clear before & I don't get breakouts. I was expecting the redness, tghtness and inflammation but not bumps. I'm am afraid to put anything on my skin other than use my hands to wash with water & Cetaphil & use the hyaluronic acid I was given. Is it ok to put a dot of Bentonite clay on each bump? What likely caused the bumps?
This is my second time microneedling, I had a few small bumps on my face prior to this season but they werent 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?
3 days ago I had microneedling done. I woke up the next morning w/whiteheads that progressed throughout the day. This morning I woke up and they are much more agressive; it seems like my swelling and redness is getting worse. The whiteheads itch and sting terribly. I am also drooling and having a hard time talking, eating and drinking. I called my doctor 3 times and she says it is all normal except the drooling but that I probably having an underlying medical condition I should see a doctor for.
This is my second microneedling treatment. After my first treatment, I broke out in larger bumps (hive-like) and they went away in 4 days. I am concerned because these have white heads and are different in size. They appeared overnight (last night) and so did the larger bumps during my last treatment cycle.
I've done microneedling twice now, and both times I've woken up the next day with a face full of whiteheads. However, it's been two weeks since my last microneedling and I am still waking up with 10+ new zits each day. I did have 2 active pimples that she didn't avoid with the needle. I'm at a loss because I don't possibly know how microneedling can be effective when it is causing so many breakouts. I can't go on acne medication for certain reasons. When will I stop breaking out?
I got microneedling done yesterday and was driving all day after. I woke up this morning with whiteheads ALL OVER my face, specifically my cheeks and chin. My skin is skill very inflamed and rough but I heard this is normal... although it hasn't subsided since yesterday. Could the whiteheads be caused by my pores being clogged because of using a thick cream, or is it due to sun exposure? How can I clear it up, change my routine, or will it go away on its own?
I had Micro Needling with PRP done 3 days ago and my entire face is covered in white heads that have pus in them.. Other than that my skin is peeling and I see the nice new skin underneath but are all these white heads also normal post micro needling?
Is Micro needling good for very small blackheads and whiteheads. I have very fine skin with small pores; will the pinpoints leave minute scars? I had CO2 fractional laser 5 weeks ago, still left with needlepoint holes. I realize I have to wait 3-6 months to see more collagen formation. I am afraid to have micro needling done to have a similar result of pinpoint scarring. Also I am still very red after 5 weeks.
I'm scheduled for microneedling PRP. I had microneedling once in the past with a tool not a pen. I broke out in whiteheads all over. Now I get occasional whiteheads. :( This is a different clinic but Im nervous. She said she will avoid any areas where I may have a breakout. Im concerned because I also have black heads sometimes. Should I be doing this?
