Face itching

2017-10-02 17:58:14
Hey Doctor, I am 15 years old, and I used an Erytop solution for my pimples. My face started burning a lot and I washed my face, but right now the itching and the burning sensation is too much. I applied Nivea petroleum jelly and the burning has reduced. Just want to know if this will affect my face,

Please don't self treat. Acne can be treated easily with facewash, tablets and creams. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.
