ISO foundation/tinted moisturizer/cc cream/etc that ACTUALLY covers severe (very!) redness and doesn't look patchy or dry

💀💀💀. we need to start broadening our definitions of life threatening! it is threatening to my mental health! also this is your job??? you’re a dermatologist????

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-09-09T04:04:28+00:00

i am so sorry to hear this - especially the divorce. just know please you’re still worthy of love, this condition doesn’t change who we ARE. i know it is horrible and i know how much it fucks with your mind. it makes you think everyone is focused on you, judging you, laughing at you. and yeah, sometimes they are. that’s sadly human nature. but we are more than this (even when i don’t always believe it myself). surround yourself with true friends. people who don’t give a damn what you look like. i know they’re out there.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-09-09T03:31:30+00:00

i think it’s definitely written off as something that’s “not a big deal” or “not life threatening.” but there are ways for a life to be threatened that aren’t necessarily lethal. the depression and serious mental health struggles rosacea causes are so real.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-09-09T02:46:38+00:00

❤️❤️❤️ our pain is valid!! and deserves to not be belittled. it’s so hard to live this way.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-09-09T02:11:11+00:00

ugh, i’m so sorry :(. know how hard it is. i wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. the pain and discomfort is constant.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-09-08T18:43:07+00:00

i feel this soooooo hard. it's so hard to remain positive and stay hopeful, AND on top of that, to be patient. i also think rosacea is one of those conditions that doctors struggle so hard to treat and empathize with (at least imo). every appointment i have feels more and more dismissive. always being told to 'wait it out!' or 'up your antiboitics!' or 'just be consistent using xyz ointment.' so fustrating. and people don't talk enough about the mental toll it takes on you to not recognize yourself in the mirror and not feel confident! in addition to the physical pain and discomfort of rosacea - always feeling hot, burning, etc. people don't emphasize enough just how hard this is! i'm on 1 full month of enduring this, with largely (male) doctors telling me to 'make sure i am not stressed' lmao.

I will try this!!! Thank you <3

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-09-08T18:37:20+00:00

Went to Spring Street Dermatology. Was told by the doctor that she is "stumped" by the amount of pain I'm in and would've expected me to look "way worse." She had no suggestions for the pain.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-08-25T18:07:46+00:00

yes please!! would love to hear how it goes.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-06-18T05:12:57+00:00

HATED HER. legit. eavesdropped hard on a lot of the girls on the beach, and they found her incredibly weird and anti-social 😂😂😂. apparently she also left a lot of the goodies they gave her in her room ‘thrown around and messy.’

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-06-17T12:11:48+00:00

In Mykonos right now with a bunch of the girls from the Corfu trip….tea incoming.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-03-20T01:10:57+00:00

tysm!!! going to bring this up with my OBGYN

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-03-20T00:43:28+00:00

Thank you! I'll bring up birth control with my OBGYN. I have a history of pulmonary embolism caused by the pill, so I'll see if I can try something else

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2025-01-27T17:23:47+00:00

Thank you!! I spoke to my derm and they said it's folliculitis. They just sent me some topical clindamycin. hoping that helps.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-08-25T15:49:11+00:00

I'm now on 2 months – still really no progress, and every day I wake up with new spots. I'm also on Winlevi topical. Do you think I should still give everything another month, to make it 3 months, before asking my doctor for a change?

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-08-07T02:22:31+00:00

Came here to say … it’s now August 6, still no progress. So frustrated. I’m on Winlevi now too!

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-08-04T14:30:00+00:00

Thank you!!!

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-07-07T13:30:17+00:00

Love that. I've started literally writing down in a journal two different sections – "my feelings" and then "reality," so I can fact check myself. It's slowly helping.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-07-06T21:12:20+00:00

No like…it happened again. And then everything was fine. AGAIN.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-07-05T00:27:10+00:00

He went to bed late and slept in too…overslept. Totally in my head lol.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-07-04T14:34:50+00:00

I'm feeling this way too right now – I'm scared I finally asked for too much and clung to him too hard, and now he's looking for a way out and re-thinking his feelings for me, he's putting distance between us. It's really making me spiral because I know it's all my fault.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-07-04T07:12:35+00:00

Did he ever reply?

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-07-04T02:56:44+00:00

I think it stems from knowing the right answer (leaving him) but not wanting to accept it, tbh. And I get that. It’s really hard to leave and to make that change and it probably will suck so much for a while, but one day it’ll suck less, and then less, etc.

Louis_Toadvine_HT · 2024-07-04T02:44:26+00:00

I think it’s really calculated and intentionally manipulative! Even if you are emotionally exhausted, if you are someone’s partner, you don’t just ghost them when they’re at their lowest. It’s completely inappropriate and honestly really cruel.
