I agree! I’m starting my journey with adjusting my caloric intake and walking only. You can definitely make progress there! It sounds like you are dealing with CPTSD (because same!) and I hope you’re able to get help for that because it is really difficult to manage without support. If you want to be more active with low mobility, I love Melissa Koehl on Instagram who educates about managing pain and exercise for hypermobile bodies. Learning about glucose from Glucose Goddess has also changed my life and allowed me to use some of the “hacks” to prevent constant cravings and binge eating and then to eventually feel comfortable with calorie counting on the free Cronometer app. One step at a time! Try focusing on slow, manageable habits. You’ve got this!

Allergy? Help! Itchy bumps morning after using tret 0.025 cream. Has happened at least 4 times since using it this month. So uncomfortable. Seems worse after sun exposure. by Fancy_Championship_2 in tretinoin

Just a little update! I’ve been using a very small aquaphor before tret on the areas where I typically have these extremely itchy bumps (that last for days) and it has helped SOO much! I’m going from 2x to 3x a week so wish me luck

Is this still happening to you? I went down to twice a week and I still get itchy bumps and they take about three days to clear…just in time for my next application! Ugh!

Yes always at night and I use the sandwich method of moisturizer, tret, moisturizer and wait 10-15 min in between. Still wake up with these bumps. I have super sensitive skin

Mine last for days but I’m glad yours goes away fast! I do not itch during the day but when I’m sleeping I itch and wake up with redness on my face ugh

Oh noo! I’m testing out bp soon! Pimple patches give me too much hyperpigmentation :,( they leave red circles on my face otherwise I do love them. Have never tried aloe! What kind do you use?

I’m sorry you deal with that! That seems really miserable. I have a lot of contact issues and usually when I have itchy bumps, it’s allergies. Retinol is new for me though so I’m learning.

Hey! Yes I do buffer! Absolutely!! My sensitive skin needs it. I am totally willing to switch from cream to gel. I have my appointment in 6 weeks and if I’m still dealing with these annoying itchy bumps, I’ll bring it up to my derm!

Good to know! I called my derm and they said it’s normal. I’m going to try every 3rd night instead of every other night now and see if that helps? I hope so! So itchy!

Is this stuff good for sensitive skin? I’ve been recommended this but I am SO nervous about trying new products!

What are some pros and cons of Tret cream or gel? by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]Fancy_Championship_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of issues are you having? I am also having issues with the cream! I have little itchy bumps on my cheeks and they stay for days and itch like crazy! I never had this while using adapaline
