coloring For Normal Skin | Flaky Phase Treatment Flaky Phase Treatment During the initial healing phase oozing and less often a crust or scab will develop over the treatment site. If a dressing is applied then the following regime is not necessary. Many people find the semi-occlusive dressings annoying after the first couple of days and would like the opportunity to cleanse their coloring for normal skin. If a dressing is not applied it is important to keep the skin well lubricated and prevent drying until the oozing has stopped. This is usually accomplished with big gobs of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or Aquaphor. As distasteful s this sounds it is the most effective way of trapping the moisture in the skin and preventing it from drying and cracking in coloring for normal skin. An antibiotic ointment such as Fucidin ointment will have been applied immediately after the surgery. Some physicians suggest that their patients continue to apply this under the moisturizer, although it can be irritating for some people in Crusting phase treatment. During the crusting phase the face should be cleansed with very cold water and a mild cleanser such as Neutrogena or Pears. For the first 2 days this is a challenge because the water feels like a million little pin pricks on the face. Rather than splashing the water on the face a sterile gauze is recommended to gently pat the area with the cleanser and water in Crusting phase treatment. Serum literally drips down the face during the first 2 to 3 days. Gently wiping the serum away frequently with a cold, wet, sterile gauze and reapplying the moisturizer helps the skin to feel more comfortable. Extensive swelling during the first 3 days is common with full face resurfacing. It can be disconcerting to look in the mirror and not recognize yourself because of the distortion to your facial features. The surgeon may opt to give a dose of cortisone either through injection or tablets to reduce the swelling. The treatment site usually looks worse than it feels but acetaminophen (Tylenol) may be recommended to control discomfort. Oral antibiotics and anti-viral cold sore medications, such as Valtrex are rarely required but are often used prophylactically in Crusting phase treatment. It crusts from they will begin to separate from the skin within a week, although on some areas of the face this may take longer. It is important that the crusts are not picked or dislodged as this may lead to scarring. They will drop off when they are ready. Towards the end of the oozing and crusting phase the skin becomes very itchy, s the skin heals. The regular application of cold water and petroleum jelly helps to control the desire to itch as does the use of an antihistamine such as Reactine. Flaky Phase Once the oozing stops or any crusts have been sloughed there will be a period of flakiness for several days during which desquamated (dead) skin comes loose. During this phase the skin should continue to be well lubricated using. Aquaphor, Vaseline or a moisturizer, such as Moisturel Cream after gentle cleansing. Signs of hyperpigmentation develop during this stage in some patients. The skin begins to turn a blotchy brown color. Within 2 months this disappears although it is worthwhile to encourage resolution of hyperpigmentation with bleaching creams. Sun exposure should be avoided as much as possible. Protection with a broad spectrum sunscreen, such as Ombrelle lotion with an SPF of 15 or m ore is essential in order to prevent a severe eruption of hyperpigmentation. Erythema (Pink) Phase The new skin will be very red at first, then it sill gradually fade to pink, then to the color of normal skin. This phase may last from 3 to 6 months. Some physicians claim that Cellex C, a vitamin C preparation, helps to reduce the redness and shorten the length of this phase. It is important to avoid rubbing the skin, to apply moisturizers liberally and to protect the skin from sun exposure. Makeup may be used once all the flakiness has disappeared. If the post-operative red discoloration is mild, an ordinary base makeup will probably be adequate. An opaque makeup is useful when the pinkness is quite intense. For deeper, red erythema it may be necessary to use a green base foundation under the cream base concealer. This neutralizes the red discoloration. It is essential to protect the treated skin from the sun with broad spectrum sunscreens, sun hats and sunglasses. If this is not done hyperpigmentation is likely to occur and the skin will become a mottled brown color.
