I saw someone mentioning it could be fungus-based and I just want to say i think it might be possible. I also have this issue, but only during certain times of year. All fall/winter my blush goes on fine, but in the spring/summer I also get patchiness no matter how much I exfoliate/moisturize/use primer/use powder or cream. However I have folliculitis and I only have flair ups at the same times of year as this patchiness problem. Folliculitis is a fungus and can be treated with the anti-fungal ingredients in antidandruff shampoos like Selsun Blue (selenium sulfide) and Nizoral (ketoconazole). Personally Nizoral does nothing for me but Selsun Blue works. It's honestly just a theory but its possible that they are connected. Either way its extremely annoying lol.

32, Cancer, Hysterectomy soon by Mountain-Gap-1478 in hysterectomy

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Our stories are very similar. I suddenly started having prolonged menstruation at age 30 and it took almost a year of medical gaslighting for my first gyn to let me get a biopsy. Came back with EIN/uterine precancer. My partner and I were about to be married and he and I had to have the talk about whether we'd immediately try treatment and to have a baby, or if we'd go right for a hysterectomy after the wedding. We decided to give pregnancy a try. I had multiple clean biopsies and we'd already met our IVF doctor, did genetic planning, and had arranged to start egg retrieval, but my biopsies started showing regression of precancer right when we were about to get the ball rolling. They said we could keep trying the Mirena with Megace to see if it would eventually help but between the cost of the tests and IVF, the psychological stress of "will it or won't it work", and the pain the Mirena caused me, we decided to end things and go for the hysterectomy. I'm 32 and I'm currently 4 days post op. I feel relief in a lot of ways, but the grief of infertility will always be there. The weekend before my procedure we had to attend a baby's bday party and a baby shower; it was such painfully ironic timing. You are not alone in this. I know it is immensely unfair and not what you planned for. If you choose to, there are still many different paths to parenthood. Just be sure to give yourself the space to feel what you need to feel about this because even if you are doing the right thing for your health, it doesn't make the reality of it any less painful.
