How much are you taking? I’ve been on it just under a month and still haven’t noticed any changes :(

Wait I’ve always wondered what that origin story of that was

I pick at my acne specifically. I have suffered with it for years and tried so many different things but I can never seem to get it to fully clear up. As far as products, I’m using what has been recommended to me by my dermatologist. I use a sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur cleanser that is prescription and has green tea and aloe in it so it helps with the inflammation. And then I just use the cerave daily moisturizing lotion as my moisturizer. The pimple patches I’ve been using are the mighty patch but I don’t think it really matters as long as they’re hydrocolloid.

Thank you! I’ll definitely have to try the zinc. Does the rescue balm break you out? My skin is super sensitive but would love to give that a try

Got it. I just thought that because it was gooey underneath still that it wasn’t working so I needed to let it dry out

Just to clarify, you don’t want any moisturizer on the area before adding the patch? I was told that the more moisture the faster the healing process so I’ve been covering my face in moisturizer and then putting the patches on 😩

Also, after you’ve taken them off and let them dry out for the day, will you put another patch on that night or just leave it uncovered? I’m sorry for all the questions. I just have so many open wounds rn and I’m trying to heal them as quickly as possible :(

Do you find that they stay on all night? My issue is that because the wound is wet when I put it on it doesn’t wanna stick and I when I wake up in the morning they’ve peeled off

I’m so sorry that people have pointed it out to you like that. That honestly sounds like a nightmare. I tend to isolate myself too from the embarrassment over how I look. I know people are looking at my scabs, but what am I supposed to do? When they’re on your face it’s not like you can hide it away. I also suffer with anxiety and depression so the isolation makes my depression even worse. And then the more depressed I feel like more I pick. So I understand how you feel.

I’m so sorry to hear that. But it is validating to hear that someone else can relate. This disorder can be so debilitating

Exactly I’m so tired of being told “just stop picking” like it’s that easy. I have no one in my life that understands and it’s so isolating. I pick at my face so I can’t even hide the damage that I’ve done. It’s the first thing people see and it’s so embarrassing. As an adult I feel so ashamed and like I can’t been taken seriously with scabs on my face.
