Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I used an exfoliating solution for three days. It is supposed to be my fifth day of using it, but I stopped using it because my face looks so itchy and swollen. I think I have an allergic reaction. What is this, and what should I do?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern. As per your description, it seems you have irritant contact dermatitis due to Tretinoin and Hydroquinone chemical. It is a localized disease confined to the areas of exposure and may aggravate subsequent exposure. After cleaning the area, I suggest you apply Fluticasone and Fusidic acid combination cream twice daily for five days. I also suggest you take the tablet Levocetirizine once daily for five days. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with his consent.
