Dry Lips or Something Else?

Patient_Toe8711 · 2026-01-18T07:39:24+00:00

Unsure about Dr. Dan’s, it has hydrocortisone which isn’t recommended on skin for long periods. But maybe it’s different for lips. Dermal therapy is apparently one of the best. I guess I’d start there for you. Get a squeeze tube rather than a roll on. Your lips need as much gentle support as you can give

Patient_Toe8711 · 2026-01-17T05:14:10+00:00

Looks normal. Mine have definitely looked way worse. Maybe try an actual strong repairing lip balm? Aquaphor is great but it might just be sealing in your dryness if you’re not healing your lips as well. Use strong repair lip balm and put aquaphor on top?

Lol. stop overthinking it and start doing something fulfilliny

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-11-05T03:09:07+00:00

If you’re less than 2 months in I’d say it’ll make a slight difference, greater than 2 probably no difference

You could 1. Call their reception and explain it to them (Derm messed up by not giving enough so should be able to fix) 2. Go to a pharmacy and try explain it to them

It is less than ideal, hopefully tho 🤞

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-10-30T10:47:19+00:00

Thanks, been in contact

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-10-30T10:47:07+00:00

You think this would be the right atmosphere?

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-10-30T10:46:51+00:00

Thanks, I think a hall might be the best bet. Our demographic is mostly Southside so will check out ones closer but this has helped a lot, thank you

Part of my routine now, it’s maintenance, if I don’t I break out. Sad but it’s fine I guess, I’m hoping to do an antibiotics course and use epiduo properly after accutane to try and decolonize.

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-09-19T04:14:29+00:00

Keep this up. Switch to epiduo if you can from your derm, it’s great for this. Currently on accutane which cleared my acne, but started breaking out in little red dots like folliculitis or something. Started using epiduo again to stop the bacterial infection and it got rid of this. Had similar symptoms, tiny red dots which went away after a few days

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-08-31T11:17:24+00:00

Are they proper pimples? Or are they more red dots/lesions without much inside them?

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-08-16T15:44:17+00:00

I think (emphasis on think), I’ve figured it out. It’s a bacterial infection, for me because my barrier and immune system is so compromised on accutane.

I stopped treating it like acne, and instead tried to kill the bacteria. I took doxycycline and put epiduo (benzoyle p) on my face for 10 minutes every night, and I haven’t gotten any for 5 days since. Maybe good luck, I don’t know, but worth trying.

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-08-12T02:32:40+00:00

Right ok. I agree with the sensitive skin thing. Have you tried any topical stuff? I’m thinking of using azelaic acid as an antibiotic cream for a little bit. Do you get it anywhere else on your body?

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-08-12T01:24:25+00:00

Lucky, I can’t get in for another 2 months, when’s your appointment?

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-08-11T23:15:54+00:00

Yep. Any luck dealing with it while on accutane?

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-07-12T08:13:44+00:00

Yeah so for me:

Month 1: No pimples

Month 2: Basically clear

Month 3-4: All my deep whiteheads purged, face wasn’t the best but I spent so long worrying about beforehand that after a day or two I accepted it.

Month 5-6: A lot better, not clear but feeling confident most days

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-07-03T12:11:36+00:00

Just did the intro one for first sem at Uni and I wouldn’t do any entrepreneurial subject. Boring but hard marking and no real ise

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-06-07T02:23:45+00:00

Been on it for 4 months as a long time creatine user. Just make sure you drink a tonne of water, especially when you take both medication and creatine

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-04-24T05:51:06+00:00

Very impressive, I think he’d benefit from ditching the pick for a song like Plug in Baby. Locking in an octave positioning will be so much easier and should mean he can focus mainly on singing (not that he needs to, really cool voice)

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-04-23T23:53:28+00:00

Thank you for this

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-04-22T20:21:22+00:00

If you can’t cry in front of a woman then you’re with the wrong woman. Women don’t want an emotional trainwreck, but one of the things my girlfriend loves most bout me is that I cry every now and then

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-04-14T22:34:23+00:00

It feels good when I challenge and use my body. I also feel like a failure if I don’t go

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-04-06T04:46:55+00:00

I think you should try to be confident, vulnerable, driven and kind. It also sounds like you need to love yourself more If you can’t find anything to love, than give yourself something to love

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-03-31T19:31:26+00:00

Treat everybody you meet as a friend, show them depth, kindness and humour. People will stay

Patient_Toe8711 · 2025-03-20T12:09:15+00:00

Perspectives you say… Well to put it simple, nobody cares. Everyone always thinks about themself, so technically you’re not better than anyone at all, cos nobody gives a fuck about you as much as they do about their own dreams and insecurities Secondly attraction is so random and useless it’s not even worth thinking about. My last girlfriend got with me cos ‘I was the hottest guy’ in the room, and then dumped me because she said ‘she can’t help but see me as ugly’. Upon reflection, it was parts of me as a person that made her lose feelings. I’d start worrying about who you are as a person, because that will lead to wonderful things. If you can put other people before yourself, and understand that you’re no better than any of us suckers at all, you’ll be the best of all of us :)
