I'm dealing with sudden acne after applying fudic cream on my face. It was prescribed for a skin allergy related to hair follicles. Do you think this breakout could be because of the new VLCC facial kit I used, or is it more likely from the fudic cream? I'm really puzzled and could use your insight.

Sudden acne can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to address another skin concern. Possible Causes of Acne 1. Fudic cream: As you mentioned, the cream itself could be causing acne, especially if you're sensitive to any of its ingredients. 2. VLCC facial kit: New skincare products can cause acne, especially if they contain comedogenic ingredients that clog pores. 3. Skin purging: When introducing new skincare products, your skin may go through a "purge" phase, where it pushes out underlying impurities, leading to temporary acne. 4. Hair follicle allergy: The underlying skin allergy related to hair follicles could be contributing to the acne. Recommended Next Steps 1. Stop using the VLCC facial kit: Discontinue use to see if the acne improves.
