Sale of over the counter acne products total billions of dollars every year, and every year there are people who use a non-prescription acne product and develop a serious allergic reaction. This is why it is important to visit a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment of your skin care issues. To protect your health, dermatologists recommend that you seek immediate medical care if your experience any of the following symptoms regardless of the type of product you are using:

  1. Difficulty breathing
  2. Tightness or swelling in your throat
  3. Lightheadedness or fainting
  4. Swollen eyes, face, lips, or tongue
  5. Hives or intense itching

These symptoms can indicate that you are experiencing a serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.
