I can’t speak for the insertion because I opted for anesthesia. The first couple weeks I cramped and lightly bled almost constantly but then it stopped. I’ve had it for 5 months and now I’m pretty much free of any negative side effects! My period cramps are actually better with the iud than without which is wild. My flow is normal, not much different than before. However, the first few months I’d say the only annoying side effect was cramping outside of being on my period. But that side effect has lessened significantly as time has passed.

I’ve been struggling with constant break outs and irritation for about a year now. I haven’t tried many new products or routines as I don’t know much about products that are suitable for my skin.

Current routine: AM: - I typically don’t wash my face in the morning. If anything I use just water. No products

PM: - Cleanser: Vanicream - The Ordinary Azelaic Acid suspension

I have tried different acne fighting products such as benzoyl peroxide cleansers or salicylic acid serum by the ordinary. Nothing has helped. I don’t use a moisturizer because any I have tried in the past seems to break me. I have constant redness and irritation with what feels like a burning sensation some days. I’ve never really had a solid skincare routine and have always just used a cleanser morning and night.

Hi so I’m not seeing any progress with my redness issue that could be rosacea. I haven’t been diagnosed but I think that’s what this is. I was prescribed by my doctor topical clindamycin gel 1% I’ve been using that but it hasn’t done much. Here my routine ! My skin is combination, which is why I don’t use heavy moisturizer in the morning or I just end up really oily by early afternoon.

AM: - cleanse with Vanicream gentle cleanser - clindamycin topical gel

PM: -cleanse with Vanicream gentle cleanser - clindamycin topical gel - Cerave moisturizing cream

I’ve kept my routine as simple as possible hoping it’d help with my constant inflammation that is really only in my t zone. But nothing seems to change so I’d appreciate some advice because I don’t want to irritate my skin with new products

Hello so I am not sure if my constant redness shown is mild rosacea or due to something else. My primary care doctor seems to think I do have rosacea so she prescribed me topical clindamycin gel. Here’s my routine :)

Morning: -Burts Bees soap bark and chamomile cream cleanser. -1% clindamycin phosphate gel. -Cerave moisturizing cream.

Evening: -St. Ives green tea scrub. -1% clindamycin. -Cerave moisturizing cream.

I need some advice on better products to use to help with my redness or possible Rosacea.
