How Tuffclo Cream Works
Storage
- Avoid extreme heat or cold, like hot showers or cold winds, to prevent worsening skin discomfort.
- Cool compresses: To reduce itch, redness, and swelling.
- Avoid irritants like harsh chemicals or allergens to prevent worsening skin discomfort.
- If you have severe itching, burning, or blistering seek medical attention.
- Keep your skin clean by gently washing your face two times daily and after sweating. Choose a mild and non-abrasive cleanser.
- Use gentle alcohol-free skin care products. Avoid products that might irritate your skin such as exfoliants, astringents and toners.
- Acne may also occur due to oil in the hair. Thus, if you have oily hair, shampoo more frequently than you do now and keep your hair away from face.
- Keep your hands off your face as touching face throughout the day might worsen acne. Also, do not pick, squeeze or pop acne as it will prolong the healing process and increase the risk of dark spots and scarring.
- Avoid tanning by applying a broad spectrum sunscreen and wearing sun-protective clothing when outdoors.
- Mild hair follicle inflammation often heals on its own without needing treatment.
- You can apply a warm saltwater or vinegar solution to the affected area with a washcloth, or use over-the-counter antibiotics, oatmeal lotion, or hydrocortisone cream for relief.

- Apply a warm compress to the area 3-4 times a day for 15-20 minutes to help speed up healing.
- Do not scratch, squeeze, or pop any bumps, as this may lead to infection or other problems.
