Zero Therapy Flaking! When can I moisturize?
Hi all! I’ve been doing zero therapy for 1 week to help cure my perioral dermatitis. So far I have no new pustules but I am very flakey. My dermatologist said it was ok to introduce La Roche Posay Toleriane Sensitive Fluide but I’m a little scared. I just started the moisturizer on the non PD parts of my face and so far so good! I have read that you should introduce moisturizer only once the flakes have disappeared. I’m not sure if I’m making it worse by not moisturizing but also scared to piss it off at the same time.
Additionally, if anyone has sunscreen recommendations that would be awesome! I’ve gotten patch testing done and of the 3 mineral ones they tested I reacted to all 3 (Elta Md uv clear, cetaphil sheer mineral drops, bare minerals tinted spf) the chemical sunscreens that were patch tested I did not react to but I remember my face sorta burned by the end of the day after using 😭 perhaps once my barrier is healed I will tolerate these better.
Thank you!
