Should I see a dermatologist if I develop skin lesions on my face while using Vagilux?
Good morning, while using Vagirux I have developed skin lesions on my face and chin in the form of dried red spots. These areas are itchy and flaky. They occur on the forehead and sides of the face and under the throw. I finished the drug therapy on 22.03.2024. The changes started in the middle of the therapy. I thought they would disappear on their own. I don't know if I should go to the dermatologist for medication or keep waiting.
Thank you for your reply.
Best regards

The skin lesions you describe seem to be worrying, especially if they occurred during the course of taking Vagirux. Since the drug therapy has been completed and the lesions still persist, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist to carefully assess the situation and get the appropriate treatment.

I encourage you to report the symptoms you are experiencing to your doctor, as well as to report the occurrence of an adverse reaction of the preparation. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over the medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
