Burnt face after microneedling & Retin-A
I did microneedling on my face for the first time at home. I made sure to thoroughly clean my face and the tools. I had read that you could put on Retin-A after microneedling and I accidentally put on 0.1% instead of 0.025%. It bothered me for a few days and the skin on my face seems burnt, i.e. darker than my neck and blotchy. 2 weeks have passed and my skin still looks off. I am wondering if there is something I can do to treat this kind of problem and how long I should wait to do it. Thanks!
