Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of redness on facial skin after using HH lite cream for blemishes which could be due to allergic reactions to substances causing irritation of the skin , dermatitis, or eczema , contact dermatitis, such as when you come in contact with poison ivy or cold sores. Sometimes certain skin cream cause redness of face as side effects or in long term use . I would suggest you to apply cold compresses on them , take antihistamine like benadryl , do not pick them at all and apply moisturizer. You can apply combination of topical adapalene + nadifloxacin gel at night. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination and rule out cause like chicken pox and bullous pemphigoid . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid or antibiotics course. Topical benzoyl peroxide gel once or twice daily would have been best in this type of situation. Also apply cold compresses on face .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
