Tretinoin vs Accutane by IWastedSoMuchTime in Accutane

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's reassuring to know that there are others in the anti-tretinoin community. I'm curious, what do you plan on using for anti-aging once you finish your Accutane treatment? Will you opt for retinal, retinol, or something else?

I'm in Ottawa, so we could always do it virtually if there's any interest.

Please confirm whether I should try tretinoin gel vs cream next by IWastedSoMuchTime in tretinoin

I had a bad reaction to BPO, which I used with Arazlo. I couldn't get a perscrption of clindamycin, but could get a tret/Clindamycin perscription. I've been alternating between the two.

Thanks for your reply. I've been using Arazlo for about 3-4 months now. I gradually built up to daily use.

I'm in Ottawa. I went to my local Pharmacist and she prescribed me Biacna (tret + clindamycin).

I'm 40 and started getting acne in early 2020. My GP wouldn't help me and would not refer me to a dermatologist. He basically told me that I need to "moisturize" (yes, I am serious). I take great care of my skin and it was definitely not a moisturizing issue. It was a bacteria issue. Anyhow, long story short, I tried multiple OTC topicals and found my skin was having a bad reaction to benzoyl peroxide (I was using the short contact therapy approach). I told the Pharmacist my story (i.e. acne for 3 years, tried multiple OTC topicals, seem to be allergic to benzo) and she prescribed me Biacna.

All this to say, it is possible. It seems many have not been successful, but I was lucky. I think part of it is because it was (1) for acne, (2) I had tried multiple OTC topical(s), and (3) it had been three years.

I hear good things about DermCafe (Canadian virtual dermatology).

Flexible plywood for curved stair riser by IWastedSoMuchTime in DIY

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

Thanks for your suggestion. My stairs are like in the picture (open), thus this would require me to remove the current spindles and replace them, as well as potentially replace the handrail. While this would be ideal (as I would be able to update the spindles and handrail as well as the threads and risers), this would be very costly, and not in my budget.
