Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I called my doc and he said the same thing, he suggested that I switch facial porducts and try it out for a couple weeks, and if that didn't work to go see a dermatologist. we'll see...I have been using Clinique porducts for years and they are just not cutting it. Not that I ever had perfect skin, but my hubby even asked me if I was using my stuff and I told him I was they just weren't working. I ordered some ACNE scrub and astringent and some soap from avon, so i will see if that works...sure does make my face feel good.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hi every one. I am doing much better. Some swelling going down. Monday will make the begining of my 3rd week. I am splint and band free and will be seeing the OS on Monday. Actually I see him every Monday. I was just wondering if anyone else has had any problems with there skin. My face is peeling like i have had a sun burn. But it is also very oily? I have never had this problem. I tried some lotion but it only seems to make it worse. Anyone have any sugestions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Lots of people have it, Jen. I did not, but it also comes from the post-op reaction to steroids, anesthesia and an altered diet. The good news is that it goes away in a few weeks. And some people have had good results with cosmetic masques, to deal with it. Sorry, but I don't remember brand names. You might try the vitamin E for that, too, although it will be even oilier. It tends to be helpful with scars (not that you should expect any -- my orthopedic surgeon suggested it to deal with the aftermath of carpal tunnel surgery). C. > Hi every one.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 , My face felt very very tight and irritated adn then it peeled. My face was shiny and oily and stiff. I tried to clean it gently with cotton, but the results werent so great. My guess is that before the surgery theyre scrubbing our skin with some harsh, germ killing cleanser. My lips and the skin around my mouth also peeled, then and cracked and bled and peeled after that. There was no helping it. The surgeon suggested vaseline. I was using vaseline on my lips, but it never helped. Happily, I have no scars or marks left from that. Not even where the cracks were. > Hi every one. I am doing much better.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 My skin did the same thing. For breaking out- I washed my face with soap containing saliclisyic(sp?) acid and used an astringent with it too. Neutrogena makes one and so does clean and clear. It works great! I wouldn't put the astringent on your dry skin though. don't worry it will all go away. - > Hi every one. I am doing much better.
