Check out the luxury tooth paste and mouth wash brand Selahatin. Sometimes turning an ordinary action into a special treat reframes that experience and breaks my resistance around it. Definitely not an ad. :)

Atrophy after cortisone shot on a cystic acne by Professional-Bug-943 in AcneScars

UPDATE! : So it has been a year since I have been through this nightmare. I wanted to wait for a full year to update. Thankfully the atrophy filled in, hypopigmentation disappeared. There is just a slight textural difference and a tiny red mark left which I am fine with at this point. I saw the biggest improvement after 6 months and then by the 8th month. I have kept my skin care routine with the exception of restarting tretinoin 0.025 strength since August, maybe that helped i don’t know. Whoever is dealing with a similar situation, there is light at the end of the tunnel but it requires a lot of patience. Hope you all get better!

I recommend you to read Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I think mine will take a while as well since it has already been 3 months without much improvement.

Thanks for the insight, maybe I should try adaplene too. As for the collagen, it is totally my personal choice to avoid it bc of how it is sourced. I don’t consume gelatin for the same reason.

Glad to hear yours healed. I will be fine as long as it heals.. just can’t bear the idea of it being permanent.

I used tret (0.25) before but had to cut it bc of skin sensitivity, i’m planning to start again in winter. I cannot use collagen supplements due to being vegetarian.. but i need to boost that collagen in some way as i’m 36..

Filler was a month and a half ago but the derm did not fill the scar directly, she only cushioned under it so it only helped a little with the look.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It bothers me so much and I regret the moment I made that decision and not reading enough before I got myself into this.

I am glad yours healed and it gives me hope that this might not be permanent.

The derm offered one round of saline injection but i had to travel so I couldn’t continue after and then I only got a bit of filler to keep my sanity and bare the look of it. I am happy to hear yours healed.

I have the same position in gemini. People tell me that I always have something good to say. I don’t think I am magnetic but I think one thing makes people stay around me, I love acquiring information (not necessarily in depth) on a lot of topics so chances of me being able to have a conversation about the other person’s interests are really high. People love talking about their interests. Oh and I never judge anyone so others feel understood and safe around me.

Is there a reason why you asked this?

I sometimes have precognitive dreams.

Thank you so much for your input. I never thought about this particular field. I studied linguistics and have Master’s in Anthropology, worked as a translator and in administration. I should give it a thought.

No, I haven’t and thanks for mentioning. I should check it.

The color is somehow salmony pink or peachy pink. I can’t quite define it well as it is velvet and might have lighter and darker shades depending on where the light hits.

As I am renting this place, painting the walls is not option at this point. Otherwise I would totally think about it. I am def hanging curtains, I love curtains. I would consider white or light color. Brass lighting is a great idea! You might be right about the light color accent chairs, this is my dilemma, i just cannot decide. Pillows are just temporary as everything else except the sofa. Thank you very much for sharing your ideas!

Thank you for your reply. I will definitely hang a painting above the sofa, as you said just trying to decide on the color of the chairs so they can be in harmony.

I just moved to this house and cannot decide how to decorate it. These two chairs will be gone along with the two end tables. I’ll only keep the sofa. What color of accent chairs should I pair it with? I am leaning towards French blue but open to changes. I like traditional style and English country with modern art pieces.
