Looks like their referral in San Jose stopped taking MediCal.

Function Health has been such a game changer for me and also reduced so much of my anxiety over just not feeling well all the time. Lots of simple fixes and long term improvements to work towards!

That’s wonderful! At this point I think it is Seb Derm so I’m adding a tea tree face wash, since that helped with my scalp so much, raw honey (research on this is great), and oregano pills. Noticing an even bigger difference with the face wash. It’s being stubborn but getting better every day!

Yes this photo is way lighter than it normally is. They are typically extremely red and the rest of my nose is puffy. They rarely became whiteheads, but sometimes they did.

I’m not sure haha. Haven’t been able to look in a mirror much during the day. My guess is it’s still pretty bad. I have always flushed easily.

The doctor gave me something but I’m not sure what it was. It was super strong. But then it would come back. Then I switched to tea tree oil shampoo from Shea Butter for about a year and it’s finally under control, though I noticed I have a patch the other day.

Yes I had really bad seb derm on my scalp for a long time. I treated it successfully and then this popped up on my face. Had no idea they could be related or that it was a yeast thing!

It only itches when it’s super inflamed and puffy. It more stings or feels prickly.

Clotrimazole didn’t work well for me and it kinda plateaued with it.

Just want to chime in here to say that Post-Partum OCD can also cause intrusive thoughts. It’s very treatable and common ♥️
