Used Dermaroller On Stomach. Have Itchiness And Red Bumps. On Antibiotics And Eurax. Suggest?
Hi,
I used a dermaroller last week at home on my stomach.. It has been a week but my skin is severely itchy in that area and has little red bumps.. I am on antibiotics since Friday for other reasons and have used coconut oil and Eurax to help relieve the itchiness but its getting worse.. Do I have an infection? I have used the same dermaroller before with no issues..today is the first night I can't sleep because of it..

Gi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You seem to have developed irritant reaction either due to antiseptic solution used to clean the area or due to dermaroller use. Just take oral antihistamine like cetrizine and apply steroid antibiotic cream like fluticasone mupirocin combination over affected area twice in a day. Hopefully it should improve in couple of days. If it does not consult a dermatologist nearby. Also discard your dermaroller. Do not use the same one in future.
Hope this helped.
Take care
