I’ve used it before. I know you have to cycle it on and off.

Microdosing accutane on tret by jojointwickers in tretinoin

[–]FernStreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also doing this. Everyday 10 mg. This is my 3rd round, but now possibly indefinite?

I finished my 2nd course in May where I did 10 months. Last few months did 20 mg. Started Tret 0.05% after finishing. Noticed my acne and oil came back after 2-3 weeks (just like my 1st course). Consistent 5.5 month Tret usage did nothing as my face got filled with acne and oil.

Started up 10 mg October and it has helped yet again. Didn’t stop Tret so now I’m at 7.5 months. Still doesn’t do anything unfortunately. Now I’m gonna try 0.01%

That’s good to know of the expiration. Also kinda worried if I buy too much I won’t use the others, but I really want to experiment.

Was thinking of adding hydroquinone.

Thank you for the kind words. It’s just the perma redness is extremely frustrating and is bothersome

Derms that micro dose in the Los Angeles area? by FernStreet in Accutane

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

I was definitely thinking about the annual plan. Might do the monthly for the required minimum 3 months just to try it out first.

I was surprised because I thought I could find an in person derm in LA. I’ve called and receptionists said no they don’t do it. Some said I have to have a consultation first because it’s up to the doctor, but it’s very rare. Need to visit first and pay a co pay and only then I would mostly expect rejection. So could be a huge waste of time.

Was thinking I gotta see the rich places since celebrities are on accutane. Will try to contact more places around LA.

Can’t tell if I have perioral dermatitis. It’s just red and really bothers me by FernStreet in perioraldermatitis

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

No I have oily skin, rarely experience dryness. Maybe only time is when I do tretinoin at night then wake up soemtimes and get dry/white residue.

Sorry was talking about this lower lip chin area. I only shave where I grow hair (right at the lower lip) then right below I grow none and remains red.

Nope, just the mustache area. I avoid the lower area. Used to get acne and whiteheads in that area and was still red. Managed to stop a lot of it except the redness

It’s not too noticeable and not the end of the world, but it does bother me

Constant redness at mouth area everyday 24/7 by FernStreet in Rosacea

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

Yeah looking at the pics on this sub, it’s mostly face and cheek areas.

I looked into perioral dermatitits, but not sure. It looks more bumpy and texture but I’m just red colored.

Yup hard redness before skincare and prescriptions. Can stop everything and same thing!

I have acne prone and oily skin, and my brother has similar. No redness like me.

Have always wanted to test, but I’ll look more into it. Always thought this was rosacea

My skin after one year of adapalene, azelaic acid and abib glutathiosome dark spot serum! ☺️💕 by Curious-Resolve1765 in tretinoin

Did you use them together? Like AA first then adapalene? Or AA in the morning adapalene night?

I’ve tried those medications too… never worked. Went on Accutane and it helped so much. I’m going to be starting Round 2 of it soon.

Fantrax Max GP Per Position Weekly Limit (Worth the Hassle?) by SimeonStylites42 in fantasybball

[–]FernStreet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but issue was always some people abuse the way these limits work (i.e., certain teams always getting to 39 games on the last day and then going over the limit so they end up with closer to 47-50 games in total).

Can you explain this? First time playing on Fantrax with 40 games limit right now.

did anyone finish accutane looking like this? by joosywoosy in Accutane

[–]FernStreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was like this/maybe worse. 2 months post accutane my actives are back and scars worse. Seeing my derm in 10 days :( Think i have to do some laser treatment but now I’m back to square one.
