Question

After experiencing small pimples and now having dry, peeling skin, my doctor advised using a mild cream. Can I return to using L'Oreal creams?

Answer

Hello, I understand your concern about dry and peeling skin after experiencing small pimples (สิวผด).

Given that your doctor recommended using a mild cream and your skin is currently in a resting and recovery phase, choosing the right product is very important.

Regarding your question about whether you can go back to using L'Oreal creams, the best advice is to consult the doctor who is treating you directly again.

The reasons for consulting your doctor are:

  • Your doctor has seen your skin: Your doctor has examined your skin and knows the history of the allergic reaction or irritation that occurred. They are best able to assess whether your skin is ready to go back to using the previous products.
  • Your doctor knows what "mild cream" means: Your doctor may have specific criteria or types of creams considered mild for your skin at this time. By discussing the specific L'Oreal product you want to use with your doctor, they can advise whether that cream is gentle enough as recommended by your doctor.
  • Skin that has recently been irritated may be more sensitive: Even if you used L'Oreal before without issues, after experiencing small pimples and while your skin is recovering, it may be more sensitive. Returning to previous products should be done cautiously and under the guidance of a professional.

During the period when your skin is dry, peeling, and recovering, focusing on gentle hydration as recommended by your doctor is the most important thing. If your doctor allows you to use a cream, try asking them about the types or ingredients to avoid, or ingredients that are particularly good for soothing and moisturizing the skin during this time.

I hope your skin recovers and becomes strong again soon.
