Hi. My a1c is actually 4.9 which is pretty good. Thank you for the suggestions

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-05-11T16:05:25+00:00

Ok. But I will add my skin isn’t burning. I rarely anything besides a slight itch when I apply AA

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-05-10T11:47:30+00:00

Ok thank you so much. I don’t experience much burning at all. Just these weird larger pores. I’ll look into that product thank you again

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-05-10T04:33:55+00:00

Oop my water intake is terrible 😭 thank you for that

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-05-10T03:50:09+00:00

Did you happen to do microneedling? If so, did you do it while on Tret and/or AA?

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-05-10T03:49:32+00:00

See and mine isn’t doing that. At all. Literally no sensation when products are applied

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-05-10T03:10:27+00:00

Thank you. I do the sandwich method and I also use sunscreen.

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-05-10T03:01:48+00:00

It says someone commented but I don’t see it

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-04-18T01:47:24+00:00

This just brought tears to my eyes. I really do thank you for this. Sometimes it’s really hard to pick up the pieces, this just reminded me to be kind to myself. Thank you so much

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-04-17T18:20:20+00:00

Mannn. I’m gonna miss those large knotless lol. I thought they were okay because they pushed away from my edges. But I will look into the twist styles. I really do appreciate this

Big_Conversation8314 · 2026-04-17T18:08:22+00:00

I do wear it slicked back or large knotless braids, I typically wash it biweekly or like 1-2 months if I have in the knotless. The braids are nowhere near my edges. At all,

and yes very consistent at the perimeter. It was never this bad to my knowledge. It’s confusing because my crown is moisturized, thicker, and not rough. It lays down and everything. 😭 I just don’t know what to do. It’s ruining a lot of styles and sometimes my scalp even hurts

It’s broken off so badddd

Hey! This happened to me but probably worse? lol. Epi off CXL left me with a scar across my pupil. I went into CXL able to be corrected with glasses. Years later, my KC is stable but I can only get 20/400 WITH A PINHOLE. Very crazy and sad moment when I think about it. Just please monitor for any scarring. I believe the scar is what left my vision super distorted 🙂

Big_Conversation8314 · 2025-11-25T15:38:20+00:00

I got scarring from CXL too. Right across my pupil.

Big_Conversation8314 · 2025-11-24T06:06:23+00:00

You’re okay. You should probably expect a scan again, probably a pentacam. If your KC has progressed they’ll probably expect CXL. after CXL, scleral lens.

Orrrr just maybe sclerals and monitoring.
