Should Acnelek treatment be stopped if the skin on the forehead is dry, red and burning?

Hello, my son has been using Acnatac gel for over a month and now the skin on his forehead has become as if burned. It is dry, red and bakes. Is this normal? Should treatment be discontinued

The decision to stop taking the drug can only be made by the attending physician who is familiar in detail with the state of health of the son. We wrote more about it here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jak-i-kiedy-mozna-odstawic-leki Acnelec gel in the initial period of treatment, especially in people with fair skin and sensitive skin, may cause transient symptoms of irritation: redness, burning, swelling, bubble formation, strong peeling of the epidermis; The drug should then be discontinued for a few days until the side effects disappear, and then use small doses of the preparation, preferably alternately with a soothing preparation. Skin regeneration can be accelerated by using creams with regenerating and soothing properties, e.g.: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 soothing regenerating balm:https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87834/la-roche-posay-cicaplast-baume-b5-kojacy-balsam-regenerajacy-balsam/apteki Uriage Bariederm Cica gel-cream regenerative: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/115947/uriage-bariederm-cica-daily-zel-krem-odbudowujacy-krem/apteki Avene CICALFATE+ Regenerating protective cream: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/100758/avene-cicalfate-regenerujacy-krem-ochronny-krem/apteki Zinalfat soothing and regenerating cream: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/22820/zinalfat-krem-kojaco-regenerujacy-krem/apteki Acnelec gel also sensitizes the skin to the sun (UV light), so it is important to use a cream with a high filter during the day (preferably SPF 50) during the treatment, e.g.: Pharmaceris S Medi Acne: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/101281/pharmaceris-s-medi-acne-protect-krem-ochronny-dla-skory-tradzikowej-mieszanej-i-tlustej-spf-50-krem/apteki Avene fluid SPF 50+: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/100801/avene-fluid-spf-50-krem/apteki The effect and composition of individual dermocosmetics can be checked by clicking on the attached links on the gdziepolek.pl website, which also allows you to book them in a selected stationary pharmacy or order home delivery at a selected pharmacy Web.
