What can I expect after completing 2 weeks of carac cream use? Will the dark red spots all over my face disappear? I am on day 8 and look bad. Am I supposed to have white bumps that look like blisters? Can I use makeup to cover up? What can I use to stop the burning and dryness?
Results after using carac cream?
