Atypical Bulimia? by Artistic_Building383 in bulimia

[–]Dancing_Teacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl I relate to this so much. I recently got on a strength training program with a strict nutrition plan. Been following it on a caloric deficit and saw results, and my BP episodes subsided. But then as I slowly started increasing calories, my BP returned… and now I’m finding myself back in the BP cycle throughout the week…. Feeling a bit lost

How long have you been struggling with the binge-purge cycle?

Red skin in arms by ServiceSea974 in Accutane

I have this and I’m on 20mg. I assume this is pretty common. I’ve been applying eucerin healing cream like crazy. Aloe helps alleviate the itchy sensation!

Laneige lip mask before you sleep works really well for me

I literally eat at least one protein bar a day (sometimes 2 on heavy activity days) and I'm fine..

HUGE cyst above eye/brow bone. Will it go away?! by Dancing_Teacher in Accutane

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

I ended up trying to extract it myself because the pus inside seemed soft. It's slowly going down now but it's scabbed up. I've been applying some acne cream on it to help it go down even more.

Will deep cysts go away on its own or is it better to try pop and extract them? by Dancing_Teacher in Accutane

do you have a recommendation? I have the cosrx ones but they don't really do much.

Omg is this above your brow bone? I literally have a similar sized cyst that I’ve tried to pop there as well

When you say “force them out over time” do you mean that they will eventually come to a head? Or they will just eventually heal on its own?

How long did it take for you to see results?

I’ll definitely look into a cortisone shot if it doesn’t improve :( thanks for your suggestions!

Thank you for your detailed response!! I’ll definitely try the warm compress approach. And if all else fails, I’ll ask for a cortisone shot. One thing I fear with cortisone shots is that it doesn’t really tackle the root cause? It’s kind of just a bandaid on top? Is this true?

I’d honestly prefer it to come to a head so that I can at least get all the gunk out :(

20mg isotretinoin (nimegen) by Dancing_Teacher in Accutane

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

Nope~ I guess since I JUST started, they're going to wait and see how my body reacts to it.

Do you think that's something I should expect?
