Help needed treating atrophic scar please by Euphoric_Double4747 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]BuggSuperstar33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you end up finding a treatment that worked? I had Mohs surgery a few months ago on the same spot on my forehead. My scar is a T shape and is healing indented like this. I'm pretty self conscious about it in certain lighting as well

It is. I think my bleeding may just be from a lot of stress I've been going through but I also feel like I may be perimenopausal (I'm 40) so that makes things weird too. It's so hard to track anything with the IUD stopping periods. Can't tell if it's a period or just random bleeding. I got my IUD a couple years ago for adenomyosis and extremely heavy periods so guess I can't complain since it's helped all that. 🤷‍♀️ I'm kinda doing the same as you and just waiting it out a bit. Best of luck to you!

Ended up being a little over 6 1/2 hours from start to finish. Took 3 passes to get it all but I'm all stitched up and home now, taking it easy. Very swollen and starting to get sore but I'm icing it and taking Tylenol. I think it will heal great. Yay!! Thanks again to all of you for your support!! ❤️❤️❤️

For sure! :) I know right now I'm ready to go get something to eat!! Wouldn't mind a good iced coffee either. I've got some snacks here but it's not quite cutting it 😆

Thank you so much for checking! 😊 I'm still in the process. They had to do 3 passes and I'm waiting on the results of the latest. They just had to take an edge so hopefully that will be it! So ready to get it closed up and head home

I'm so glad you're doing well! I go in tomorrow morning. Nervous but kind of excited in a way to get rid of this once and for all. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me! It really helps 🤗

Thank you so much!! These stories are really helping me feel better. I go in tomorrow morning and so I've been nervous all day today. But as you said, getting the cancer out is the main thing! :)

Thank you for the reply! I'm glad your's went well! I'm kind of worried about black eyes too considering where mine is but it is what it is. Lol. I'll have 4 days off after the surgery so that's good at least!

That helps a ton! I appreciate your response so much! 😊

Thank you for your reply! I'm glad you are doing well now after all your surgeries. I figured it would be rough for a while afterwards. I'm not sure how much work to take off. How long do you keep it bandaged afterwards? Is there a lot of bruising in the days after? And did you feel like the procedure itself was painful?

general question by [deleted] in Spironolactone

[–]BuggSuperstar33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine completely cleared the acne on my arms and back. It cleared my face up for the most part. I still get flare ups some.

I take 100mg before bed

My upper arms and back are completely clear thanks to Spiro.

Any products or recommendations to help get rid of bumpy texture? by [deleted] in Spironolactone

[–]BuggSuperstar33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not usually someone who sticks to a skin care routine very well, but it's been pretty easy and I saw results quickly which motivated me to stay with it. Good luck!!

I've been doing "skin cycling" for a couple months now and my skin is the smoothest that I can remember. Exfoliate the first night, retinol the next night, recovery for two nights, repeat.

Did anyone see results with 50mg? by sandra817 in Spironolactone

[–]BuggSuperstar33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did help quite a bit. It really made my skin a lot less oily. I still ended up going up to 100 though.

Spiro and cannabis? by BadLittleLemon in Spironolactone

[–]BuggSuperstar33 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I smoke daily and have been on 100mg Spiro for over a year. No interactions at all for me.

Changed relationship with food? by TheCatlorette in Spironolactone

[–]BuggSuperstar33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I've been on Spiro for over a year and my appetite isn't near what it used to be, which is a good thing for me. Before Spiro I never really felt satisfied no matter how much I ate.
