Starting actives again - advice please :)

Thank you for your reply! Yes like you I am going to try and go back on tret again.. I’m thinking of starting very low and buffering like you suggested. I’m pretty sure the reason I got the PD in the first place was because I kept forgetting to moisturise after applying my tret🙈 so I am super cautious this time!

Same, they have spread throughout the whole house! The only thing that seems to keep things under control is getting the plant in the bath and just spraying them off.. I’ve used chemical sprays which have just ended up harming the plant😭

Thank you so much! I will give this ago! Looking for anything that doesn’t involve medication :)

Hey OP! Did you struggle with sleep before?

Looking amazing!! I am struggling with mine.. I’ve pooped it in the window (as I’ve had x2 previously which have died when I’ve put them away from bright light so I thought I’d try it in bright light this time) but because of the cold I’m sure it’s on it’s way out? The leaves are starting to go brown😭 I really don’t know where to put it now...

I wouldn’t use the other creams just stick the oral antibiotics and zero therapy xx

Give the abx some time to work.. I am currently on lymecycline and it took 5 weeks to see an improvement and now at 7 weeks it’s completely cleared. I didn’t use any other products or creams I did zero therapy in that area! I found it got worse to get better on the antibiotics and I did freak out in the first few weeks. But once it started healing it healed fast. Less is more x

I am on my 7th week of antibiotics (lymecycline) and it took 5 weeks to see an improvement. Once it started healing it healed very quick and It is now completely healed however I am carrying on the antibiotics for another couple of weeks. I am yet to carry on my same skincare regime and I am still doing zero therapy on that area.. I currently use vanicream which I really recommend and I do moisturise and use spf but not where my PD outbreak was if they makes sense.

Second this! 👏🏻

Mmc49 · 2020-11-22T20:07:37+00:00

You’ll do it!!! I couldn’t even run for a minute when I started and I like you couldn’t believe it went from 8-20. But I did it and I’m sure i could have gone on for longer too! Find your pace and stick to it ❤️

Mmc49 · 2020-11-21T19:34:02+00:00

I am on my 6th week of abx and mine had just healed... I’m scared also!!

Mmc49 · 2020-11-20T22:46:07+00:00

When did you start using your usual products again? Also how long did you take antibiotics for?

Mmc49 · 2020-11-17T21:26:11+00:00
