Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am using new face product. But, it made the tiny pimples and bumps more visible. Am I experiencing purging phase?

Answered by Dr. Suvash Sahu

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern.

Since you are using face products over face, have you done patch test over face before starting? I would like to tell you, always do patch test over face before starting any new face product. Method of patch test is that you should apply little amount of face product over postauricular area and wait for at least 24 to 48 hours. If you feel no burning or redness over the applied area then only you should continue application. Now, the treatment plan is to stop using face product. Apply 1% Hydrocortisone cream twice daily for five days and take tablet Levocetirizine once daily for five days.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
