I used and acne cream on my face and now my skin has gone red, raw, sore, tight, i think its because its actually burnt. i guess it was too strong or i put too much on... i stopped using it but my skins getting worse!...its really bad now... ive tried using baby rash creme, putting camomile tea on it, moisturisers etc but everything just seems to irritate it further. i used rose water to clean it now and i left it. should i just leave it alone or put some vaseline on it? how long do you think it will take to go away? thank you!
Skin burnt after using an acne cream? advice please!?
I think you had better give it a good wash in aqueous cream, rinse it well, put aqueous cream on it as a moisturiser, then get to the doctor quick. You could be having an allergic reaction to the cream. Get some good advise, or you could end up with permanent damage. Don't use anything with perfumes, or additives, or you could make it worse.
Reply:don't use it AGAIN !!
your body must be resisting the chemicals
Reply:I would stop using the cream i think you have had a reaction to it. Why dont you go to the doctors and seek some advice there. Another option is to pop in to a chemist where they may be able to advice you. I think you are probably best not to put anything on it until it has calmed down or it could become worst. Good luck.
Reply:stop using it! im not sure how long it will take to go away id put anticeptic cream on it and keep it moisturised.
if you are wanting something to help with acne, i have found only one thing helps keep my skin soft, smooth and spotfree. Clear complexion tablets, they are in a orange box, sold at holland and barrots i think superdrug had them before aswell. they work wonders. try them! its all natural no chemicals that will burn, one key ingredient is Burdock root, a plants root that helps with many skin problems.
Good luck!
Reply:i wonder if your ance cream has gycolic acid if so you could have really burnt your skin stop using it and buy some almond oil to help it heal it should scab up and then peel off good luck
Reply:same thing happened to me the skin will heal take zinc it heals quicker the skin will heal after a few days be patient
Reply:PIMPLES
Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin’s pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one’s parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too.
The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples.
GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES.
1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated .
2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead.
3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don’t when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas.
4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic
quality.
5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.
6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.
7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.
8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result.
9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and
pimple scar.
10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices.
11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.
12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and
yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.
13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect.
14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas.
15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose.
16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy.
17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash.
Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.
Reply:Some of the prescription creams and lotions like Zineryt do cause this, but without knowing what cream you have used, its a little difficult to advise you. Check the information leaflet if there is one, it should tell you about any problems like this.
I would avoid putting anything else on it until you speak to a professional. Slapping on lots of different things is not helping. Just clean your face off with water and wait until you can see someone about it. Even nappy rash cream can cause more problems if used on the wrong sort of thing, so stick to water for now. Dont use vasline, its a barrier, not a moisturiser.
Take the cream with you to a pharmacy and ask the pharmacists advise.
