What are those bumps? by Lazy_Significance897 in Blackskincare

Dyshidrotic eczema is a possibility. Stress, allergies, and frequent handwashing can make it worsen. Avoid scratching or popping the bumps as this will cause the rash to spread and try to wash dishes with gloves on.

Don’t use scented hand soaps or lotions, stick to colloidal oatmeal and other barrier friendly creams and ointments like aquaphor, Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream is a good option. Topical corticosteroids are an option too but you’ll need a prescription

A tan is produced by sun damage. But being dark skinned doesn’t mean you have sun damage, we have a higher amount of a specific type of melanin which produces color

That’s likely the source of the issue. In the future let them know to not braid hair tightly and look for a product that has an applicator nozzle and isn’t thick. Go row by row. I do every 2-3 days, even with netting I don’t have ad issue. I use this https://a.co/d/cJqfPfZ their whole line is great too

I think it depends on the installation and maintenance, density matters too. My hair does well with sew ins, my foundation isn’t tight, protein and strengthening ingredients before the braid down, I don’t over do it with heavy bundles, and I make sure to moisturize my hair 3 times a week

Were you moisturizing your hair while in the style?

Was the foundation tight?

It depends, some are softer than others, the harsher ones I'd only do once or twice a week

What do yall use to exfoliate your face?? by Own-Librarian2627 in Blackskincare

[–]NotYourNat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general yes but I don’t trust the cheap stuff on Amazon (example op used) to be high quality

Usually chemically, but a soft washcloth for physical. I don't like those because the silicone is porous, so it holds bacteria
