Barrier damage

2026-05-30 16:12:48
Hi Doctor, I have oily, acne prone skin. My face gets very oily in summer. I used 2% Salicylic Acid serum on my full face for 5 days by mistake. Doctor told me to use it only on forehead. My facewash also has Mandelic + Salicylic + Azelaic acid. Now my skin feels rough, tight and dry after washing my face. No burning or itching. Questions: 1. Is this skin barrier damage? 2. Which gentle facewash should I use for oily acne prone skin? 3. Which light, non-comedogenic moisturizer is good for healing? 4. When can I start acids again for my acne? I am attaching photos of my skin, facewash and serum. Please help.  Thanku

Hello, Thank you for your query. • Based on the information provided, it is difficult to suggest the most appropriate treatment without a proper assessment, as several skin conditions can appear similar. • Kindly share clear photographs of the affected area in good lighting along with details such as duration of the problem, symptoms, and any treatments used previously. • I would advise against starting any OTC creams or self-medication, as some products may worsen the condition or delay proper treatment. • An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective and long-lasting results. You may book a consultation for a detailed evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. I would be happy to guide you further.
