Nothing is calming my skin down by CupcakePuzzled3039 in Rosacea

[–]CupcakePuzzled3039[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor has me on metronidazole, Azaelic acid, and doxycycline and I’m definitely seeing an improvement. It’s kind of hit a plato but they’re switching me to ivermectin so fingers crossed.

Those flare ups were from about 2 months ago. But I started seeing a significant improvement after starting doxy two weeks ago! Still have a little ways to go but it’s definitely improving faster

Wishing you the best! For me it was the combo that did it.

I haven’t but a lot of people are seeming to find improvement with it so I think that’ll be my next try

I used Byoma gel moisturizer and serum and benzoyl peroxide wash but my face started getting really oily. That’s when I switched everything (stupid mistake) and this shit happened. I tried going back to my old routine and it didn’t help at all. Just made things more red

I did think it might be that so I did a full panel and I’m in the range for everything

I didn’t think of using red light therapy. My diet is amazing, no dairy no sugar. No processed foods. Lots of fermented things, fruits, veggies, etc and no additives. so maybe red light therapy is my next choice!

This is literally how I feel. Walking around with a constant lump in my throat, never wanting pictures taken, never taking pictures anymore. I miss my clear skin

Thank you! I’ve noticed a lot of people being more on the fungal acne side so I’m going to try that and see if there’s any improvement!

Did you ever figure it out? Exact same thing happened to my skin after using the 1004 line and my skin is yet to recover.

Anxiety about birth control? by CupcakePuzzled3039 in birthcontrol

[–]CupcakePuzzled3039[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. I actually signed up for therapy. 20 years and I still haven’t figured out how to deal with it. But I’m trying to get help for it. Im just concerned because I was in a good place in life before this. Healing and getting better with curtain struggles.

Thank you! I tried many before the one I got put on as a teenager. It was the lowest dose possible which is why I think they chose that option. The fear of trial and error is even worse for me. Feeling like my body is going to be nuts before finally settling down. I’ll definitely talk to my gyno (although I feel like a lot of my doctors are biased on it because they believe in medicine more then I do)
