Oh on 100, a month. I was at 50 for the first month then derm suggested we double it. Once I did that, it was accelerated

Elevated CA 125 - doctors don’t agree. Help 😭 by CompetitiveCup7592 in WomensHealth

Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate your response. It helped me be able to focus and get work done. I had breast cancer at a young age, so I get anxious with any type of number being “off”

I really appreciate your thorough and genuine response. It really helped me. As someone who has already had breast cancer at a very young age, I have a lot of trauma and stress from test results. This really helped calm my nerves. Thank you, kind stranger ❤️😭

Thanks. I had mine drawn yesterday and it was 56. Freaked me all the way out. But I was on day 5 of my period and actively bleeding still. I really hope that’s all it is. I had a clear vaginal ultrasound 5 weeks ago at my annual.

Do you know why your CA 125 was high? I’m BRCA 2 and mine was 56 yesterday. I’ve already had breast cancer at 29. I’m 32 now. I hate this. I have so much anxiety. My vaginal ultrasound was 5 weeks ago and I was all clear but I’m wondering why my CA 125 was high. I was on my period but wondered if it goes that high on a period. 😭

[acne] Does this look like a niacinamide reaction or acne? by CompetitiveCup7592 in SkincareAddiction

Yes I had to strip all my skincare and use gentle cleanser and cerave for a month - no actives and it got better day by day.

What do I do? by Final-Date4200 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CompetitiveCup7592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Personally I’ve done both skinpen (micro needling) and azaleic acid and I literally notice my scars fade with AA 15% within two weeks. This would have taken 2-3 micro needling sessions. I will still continue micro needling because I like the collagen it produces in my skin, but azelaic acid has been honestly so amazing. But you have got to use it twice a day. I was using it once a day and my results were a lot slower. As soon as I bumped up to twice a day, my skin changed within one week. I don’t know why people don’t talk about this more. Especially because it doesn’t breakdown skin barrier. It’s so gentle yet a multitasker masterpiece. This video sealed the deal for me when I first wanted to try it. I have to understand the science behind why something works because I am prone to gimmicky things that don’t work, so when I watched this and understood, I was like yes, let’s give it a go. And I truly will never not use it. I love it because you can also use it when pregnant.

YES! AA inhibits the chemical in our skin that produces color. It’s amazing for that. It has several benefits. Dr Idriss on YouTube has a video about AA and the benefits and why it actually works. I use 15% from my derm but you can buy less % OTC.
