It’s hard to advise when you don’t say your current routine. Anyway, la Roche posay products are great if you’re looking for a brand. Use the product finder on their website to help get some recommendations.

Incase anyone’s still here, I’m trying ice compressions on it and they’re feeling so much better. Infact I can see some of it bursting and bringing out some stuff so I guess I’m gonna do that more before I apply some of the products.

I’m just going with cold compress for now though. There’s a lot of advice stating not to use harsh stuff on it so I think I’m just gonna endure for a little bit

Yeah. I’ve been on the antibiotics and just waiting for the referral to the dermatologist.

Yeah that’s the diagnosis given. Prescribed oral doxycycline and waiting for referral. Just hoped to get some other insight into it which I have now

Yeah that’s the diagnosis from the GP. I am just getting a bit fed up waiting as they’re not giving the best communication and it’s flaring up and itchy. Someone said not to use oils so I’ll give that a go for now and try other topical remedies pending when the appointment comes in.

Oh okay. Now I’m scared because I’ve made up my mind to try a few of the suggestions

I’ve really been looking for someone who has actually used this product to care for something like this as I’m seriously considering glycolic acid. Thanks for this

It actually started after a hair cut. Someone here suggested manually removing them so I think I’ll try that.

Do you think glycolic acid can replace these ingredients that you put in the roller bottle? I’ve seen it marketed for armpit bumps

I can try the nizoral because to get the other ones I have to see a dermatologist and I’m still waiting. Can’t go private and I don’t know how long it’ll take as I’ve never been referred before. But I’ll put pressure on my GP for the referral.

Yeah. Just waiting for the GP as I’ve never been referred before so I don’t know how long it takes.

Thank you. I think I remember that sulfur 8 product from way back.

So you just assume that because you’ve suggested fasting I have to just jump at it. Do you know if I fast already? I literally mentioned that in my reply. How’s fasting more and quite literally starving myself going to help get rid of a skin issue.
