When you first start using prescription topical treatments, you may notice your skin becoming red and flaky. The treatments can also make your skin feel dry and tight as well as giving you a burning, itching or stinging sensation. This is a normal response to the treatment and should be expected. All treatments can cause some level of skin irritation – redness, flaking, peeling, skin tightness, burning and itching. That is part of how they work. For more advice on how to minimise these effects please contact our team.
All treatments are sent with a full patient information leaflet that will explain all of the potential side effects.
