I've just applied castor oil on my face for the first time, and suddenly I've got these small red bumps popping up all over. I'm not sure what's going on. Could you tell me what might be causing this and if there's any ointment or treatment I could use to help calm my skin down? Would appreciate any advice you have!

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction or irritation from the castor oil. You can try using a hydrocortisone cream, such as Cortaid, to help reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for up to a week. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious about the safety of using EGA cream compared to Procorrect cream. Do these creams have the same ingredients, and are they both used for treating acne and aging? I'm just wondering because I've seen both recommended for these issues, and I want to make sure I'm choosing the right one. Could you shed some light on this?

You can use either,better to visit Dermatologist for approrpriate management
