Used acne treatment, now I have dry/peeling/flaky skin?

I went to the doctor to ask about some acne treatment. She recommended ';PanOxyl Aquagel.'; It says in the pamphlet that you may experience redness and dry skin on the area that the ';gel'; is applied to. I used it once a day since last Tuesday. I noticed some redness and that my skin was dry but it didn't bother me. But by Thursday I noticed that my skin was peeling a bit where I had applied the gel (my cheeks). It didn't bother me, as it was only a small amount of peeling, so I continued using the gel.


Then, got up on Friday morning, looked in the mirror and there was dead/peeling/flaky skin all on my cheeks. It was as if I had been sunburnt and my skin was peeling. I stopped using the treatment. My dad recommended I put some baby lotion on the flaky skin to clear it up. I did so and it 'went away' (dunno where to) but it was only a quick fix. I've kept using the baby lotion but like I said, it's only a quick fix.


Is it worth using the lotion? How can I get rid of the peeling?Used acne treatment, now I have dry/peeling/flaky skin?
Hey man I'm 16 I dont know about you, but I just got rid of my pimples and I they suck bad. And I used ProActive, and that stuff burnt my skin so bad, where my doctor said it was close to a 3rd degree burn. It was the Benooxide that dried me up so bad. But now I take some pills I got from my doctor, no pimples. Don't take the cream stuff, you have sensitive skin just like me. For the peeling, you just haft to wait awhile. It sucks, but that's all I could do was wait. Anything I put on it burned.Used acne treatment, now I have dry/peeling/flaky skin?
My son used a prescribed medicine for his acne and the same thing happened. It's just one of those side effects you have to put up with; what's better for you, the acne or dry skin?





Another thing to beware of is sunlight. Even in the winter, be sure to ALWAYS use a sunscreen before going outdoors. Also, the sunscreen will moisten the dry areas, so it has a dual benefit. Good Luck to you...
If you鈥檙e looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne鈥?prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.





For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it鈥檚 advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.





Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.


Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:
