acne proactiv treatment
girlygirl24 asked:


Ive been using proactiv for a while now and have never really had a problem. Last night i applied thr mask and then reparing lotion to my affected areas before i went to sleep. Too ym surprise I woke up this morning with scratches on ym face, you would have thought i was scratched by a dog or someting but I wasnt! I have a painful scratch on the right side of my face one on my chin and one near my nose. What should i do to ease the pain of these scratches. I think for some reason maybe i put too much on and it litteraly burnt my skin. Any advice on what to do because its really embarrasing to have scratches on my face!

    Do you move around a lot in bed?
    Maybe you accidentally scratched
    your own face? However, more
    than likely, it was a burn. I have
    used the repairing lotion before
    also but have never left it on overnight.
    I would maybe take an anti-inflammatory
    medicine, such as Advil or Aleve.
    I suggest over the counter meds for
    now to see how bad the pain really is.
    Then you might want to just put aloe
    vera on them. PURE aloe vera. Not
    Banana Boat crap. You are probably
    going to have to suffer with the not
    so asthetic scratches for now, putting
    make-up or any cover on them besides
    aloe might cause you to scar. It might
    also make the cuts get infected or
    start to burn worse. If you don’t see
    improvement within three days, go
    see a doctor. Oh! Have you called
    the Proactiv people yet? They have
    a hotline number. They might be able
    to help you also. Good Luck!

    Remember, it won’t be forever.
