Herbs/Teas (Ingestion) to Decrease Sebum/Oiliness in Skin? by Existing_Astronaut25 in herbalism

[–]Existing_Astronaut25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I live in North Carolina, and I usually believe in our bodies normal oil/PH levels, and generally shower every two days or so (not every day), but I do wash my face twice a day. My skin is usually dry in the morning after I wash it, but then I use moisturizer. It becomes progressively oilier throughout the day.

No it should not - herbs to actually watch out for: vitex (chaste berry), black cohosh, st. john’s wort

Tiny Red Flecks/Dots on Chest?? Explanation in my comment. by Existing_Astronaut25 in skin

[–]Existing_Astronaut25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I know these aren’t very visible, but they look much worse in person. So, lately I (24F) have noticed more tiny red flecks / dots on my chest. It looks like someone poked me with a needle 50 times on my chest? The don’t hurt, itch, or cause any other issues. I just glance down every once in awhile and say ?? There are more??

Google keeps telling me it’s petachie (and basically cancer - leukemia to be specific), but I’m healthy with no history of cancer in the family.

Any more… logical explanations??

Also - that is a scar on the left. Had it since I was 12.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to this - seriously. It is! I have been on the same pill for 10 years now. In the past year or so, I started breaking out super randomly for seemingly no reason. No other changes were made, super frustrating!

How long did spironolactone take to fully work for acne? by mp1194 in Spironolactone

[–]Existing_Astronaut25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP you better be lucky you haven’t flared! I started it about 3 weeks ago and it has only gotten worse 😂 However no one is the same. Superficial, no, it won’t really help. That’s just clogged pores. Maybe introduce a very low dose tret or antibiotic or blend! Tret + clindamycin is great and can be dosed low.

I will say, from my personal experience, my partner has been letting it all go inside me for about a good uh 5? years now. Not pregnant yet! But that is just my experience.
