Red area on skin after procedure
13 years 7 months ago #1276001248I ve had a touch up 3 weeks ago and started noticing a red area on my skin 3 days after procedure.
The redness has not gone away till today and also the reddish skin looks different, like its drying out.
Did this ever occur to anyone? Any suggestions?

Btw it's not necrosis, so don't worry about that.

13 years 7 months ago #1276005794I agree with Hoddle that is no way Necrosis .. This redness can happen with any PMMA products even with Artefill ( around 1.4%) and in some cases this redness can stay > 1 month usually with itcheness and possibly near to the entry holes.
It seems to me this redness is not warm or painful ??

13 years 7 months ago #1276005894No, not warm or itching but I feel that in this area something is going on...or maybe it is just because of the look that I think that I feel sth...
I got a reply from the doc, she thinks it is an infection and recommends using an antibiotic, azitromicin500, e.g. Zitromax and use a cream ( Bactroban ) don t think I can get those without prescription though...
I ll keep you updated.

Re: Red area on skin after procedure
13 years 7 months ago #1276040892I don't think it is an infection (but anyway you should listen to your treating doctor, it is always better to be safe), it is actually due to incorrect placement of the product ( i.e. injected superficially "shallow dermis" ) ---> long-term itchiness and redness ; check this e.g. about an Artefill it was mentioned :-
" Generally, injectable PMMA is well tolerated, although long-lasting itchiness and redness can occur with incorrect placement of the material (i.e. if injected into the shallow dermis).

13 years 6 months ago #1276416903I also have some swelling that you don't seem to have... but the redness looks exactly like mine.
Let me know if you try the steroid cream and it works... I'll keep ya updated on my use of Aloe Vera.
