    When would be best to apply and can we apply moisturizer after or before?

    • @DiscoverDermatology
      @DiscoverDermatology  Рік тому

      Would be helpful to apply it twice a day, morning and night. Moisturisers can be used either half and hour before or after it’s application.

    Very interesting, but could it cause a rebound effect on the skin like these sprays usually do on nose rhinitis?

      An excellent question. Im afraid there is no long term study on this regarding rebound effects.

    Hi Doc. It’s very useful info. I have questions : Can we use this drop on wet skin? Can we use this drop combine with HA serum (before or after the drop better to apply)? And if irritation happens, should we stop or continue for 4 weeks by using moisturizer? One last question, can ee combine with mometasone furoate cream? As both are working same shrinking the blood vessel? Thanks alot

      It can be sued on wet or dry skin. There have been no studies on its use with other serums and creams. If the skin is irritable, it can be sued with a thin moisturiser. Mometasoe furoate is probably too string to use on facial skin unless there is significant inflammation of the skin.

    Is there something even better for pie than Oxymetazoline? I am struggling with this for so long.

    • @DiscoverDermatology

      Topical brimonidine may be helpful but is used only in rosacea in the UK. Lasers are also known to help.

    Doctor, I use salicylic acid at night and Azelaic acid in the morning. How can I put it in my routine?

    • @DiscoverDermatology
      @DiscoverDermatology  3 місяці тому +1

      As this is a solution, it can be used in the morning and night, left to dry for a few minuted and then the usual creams ca be applied about 3 0 to 45 mins.

      Excellent question! Xylometazoline is a similar vasoconstrictive agent so it may work. No studies done in it though.
