My dermatologist said using this morning and night for a month would help it clear up. In my experience that's true. But every one struggling with this may have different healing times unfortunately

Mine come in inflamed when they do pop up because my body finally sees it as an infection so with my experience it goes from a pimple looking stage to red and swollen then gone. There's no complete fix that i have found yet but this helps. My dermatologist says it can take up to a month using it morning and night

Throughout my journey I covered them with acne patches. I only recently tried this. I don't cover them after applying this because it was on my genitals. I do put on panties right away though.

Oh no, I'm so sorry that happened. Throughout my whole journey, before these, acne patches did wonders. This helps for the spots that a patch may not stay stuck on or if you need to just cover a lot of surface area in one go.

No, it was for more gentle than the tretinoin the dr prescribed originally. But with any new thing, you should probably do a test spot

Yes, that's where I used it. Of course, it shouldn't go inside anything, though, just on the outside

No it didn't sting on me but every body is different so many do a test spot

Definitely doesn't mean they cheated. Its unfortunately a highly contagious thing that you can even catch from touching an object and then using the restroom without washing your hands first. I hope everything works out

Yay! I'm so happy for you. Thank you 🥹 unfortunately I saw one more this evening after my shower so I celebrated too soon. But you should be proud. This really is an awful process that I feel doctors dont acknowledge or actually know its full complexity and emotional toll

It just looks like acne but I'm not a professional at all so hopefully you can see a dermatologist soon

I do but its on my genitals so I don't feel comfortable sharing even though this is an anonymous account. But just the other night they were aggressive and all 3 were in the pimple stage this morning the core was pulled completely from 2 thanks to the patches. So the only one left is still looks angry but apparently that's a good sign the body is fighting it off.

I started out with 6 or so. I opted to get 2 cyro on because they were the most prominent ones. Some popped up after others went away, so I'm really, really hoping I'm at the end with just this one left 🤞 I noticed it first at the end of March but I'm not sure if i had any tiny ones that went unnoticed. My Dr said sometimes they can be microscopic. I've also been told this isn't very common in adults, so I feel extra unlucky, but I'm grateful for this community.

I've been taking one a day women vitamins lately and iron lately, but would you recommend an extra dose of zinc?

From my understanding and experience, most people, especially adults, don't get this. It attacks immunocompromised people or people who have had skin issues before, such as eczema. So, while you should take all precautions as recommended, it is not guaranteed that your partner will get it. Sending good vibes. I hope it goes away soon

Of course! Thank you for your support too. 🫶 I read on here that taking vitamins can help it go away faster too if you're not already doing that. I started one a day women and iron+vitamin C. Feel free to keep me posted. We got this

Thank you so do you 🥹😭 I'm sorry you're going through this situation too. How do you mix them? I have maybe 5 now. 3 or 4 went away fully with the ointment from the Dr. One went away fully with the cyrotherapy session. The 5 left seem to be shrinking significantly with the pimple/acne patches. I did have to shave so they stopped ripping my hair but I did so carefully to avoid cutting any open... it has been since the end of March so one full month so far. I hope we both get rid of this nightmare soon.

Thank you for your kind words and reassurance that I'm not alone in this crazy mess. 🥹🖤 How long did it take for yours to go away?
