Her face, which was originally smooth, became damaged and suffered from skin disease.

Brilio.net - Doctor creams or skin care products prescribed by doctors are often the choice of many people in an effort to overcome various skin problems, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or signs of premature aging. These creams usually contain stronger active ingredients and are designed to provide quick and effective results.

These products often contain active ingredients that are more potent than regular cosmetic products, such as hydroquinone, retinoids, salicylic acid, or corticosteroids. However, the risk of using a doctor's cream that is not accurate or does not suit the skin condition can be dangerous.

One of the main risks is irritation and inflammation. Some of the active ingredients in doctor's creams, especially retinoids and hydroquinones, can cause the skin to become dry, red, and flaky, especially on initial use. If used too often or in excessive amounts, these side effects can get worse, causing the skin to become sensitive or even injured.

In addition, long-term use of corticosteroids also has the potential to damage the skin. In some cases, uncontrolled use of corticosteroids can also trigger a skin reaction called steroid dermatitis that can cause red spots or acne on the skin.

This can worsen skin conditions that initially only require light treatment. As experienced by a TikTok user with the account name @maruuiann_. Through his upload, he shared his story of choking after using the doctor's cream, until his initially smooth face became damaged and suffered from skin diseases.

"Stop using the doctor's cream that says BPOM," he wrote in the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net quoted on Saturday (9/11).

The story begins with the owner of the account known as Ian deciding to use the doctor's compound cream as his daily skincare. Whereas before, he had a bright and smooth face. After four months of use, Ian's facial skin became thinner, the pores enlarged, and spider veins appeared.

Not only that, his face also became gradated and looked dull. Apparently, he suffered from the skin disease perioral dermatitis. Even worse, his face became swollen and red.

"This oath is very painful + itchy," he said.
