I have a massive breakout of bright red, pustular adult acne around my cheeks. Can I go for a scaling treatment? ㅠㅠ
Seriously, my skin must have gone crazy lately. My cheeks and the surrounding areas have completely exploded with huge, bright red, pustular acne and inflamed breakouts. It’s totally broken out ㅠㅠ. It burns and feels incredibly painful even with just a light touch, to the point where I absolutely cannot go out without makeup lol. I’m worried that if I just leave it like this, it’s 100% going to leave scars, so I’m planning to go to a dermatologist to get a full treatment package that includes sebum extraction, acne scaling, and anti-inflammatory injections! If you have sensitive skin like mine that is extremely red and full of pus... Acne treatment If I get scaling done according to the schedule, will my breakouts definitely calm down completely and my skin become smooth? ㅠㅠ Please leave some real-life advice from those who have actively tried treatment at a dermatology clinic regarding how many sessions it usually takes to see results. ㅠㅠ

I'm worried about dryness and redness on my cheeks in late autumn. What kind of care would be best?[6]
CommentsIt seems wise of you to be cautious with exfoliation when your cheeks feel tight and red due to the heating. I would also like to take your advice on whether I should consult about soothing care or a skin booster first.220026.11.03 - 03CommentsIt’s amazing that you’ve consistently managed with just soothing care without touching your hands. I’ll check the reply when it comes up regarding whether the extraction comes first or if the peeling is done together.200026.11.03

- 02CommentsWhen breakouts occur, I'm always confused about the order of things—whether to exfoliate first or moisturize first. It's nice to find out that you share the same concern.590026.10.30
- 03CommentsIt would be difficult to determine the required number of sessions from the start, as it varies depending on the level of inflammation, the presence of scars, and management goals. It would make comparisons easier if you asked about the timing of the interim evaluation and the criteria for modifying the plan during the consultation.530026.10.28
- 01CommentsI'm also stressed because I keep getting acne, but it seems like getting laser treatments consistently is important. I think it will get better after receiving more than 10 sessions.2180026.10.26
- 02CommentsI imagine you are really curious if you can manage both blackheads and acne at the same time. It would be a good idea to consult with them to see if they can be treated together after assessing your skin condition.710026.10.25
- 03CommentsI get breakouts on my chin before and after my period exactly the same way, so it really feels like I'm on the same page. During your consultation, please ask about the best order to manage the current inflammation and remaining marks, as well as available time slots after work!1310026.10.25
