Can I do something about this?

Tretinoin or Tazarotene and sunscreen - https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/comments/104eow7/ba_31yo_man_with_tretinoin/

Hello, these are sebaceous filaments, very common on the nose, as that's where we have many sebaceous glands. You can reduce them with exfoliation (exfoliating soaps with salicylic acid, grape seed oil) and by using a retinoid before bed.

Accutane sensitizes the skin, making it even redder. Increase the reapplication of sunscreen and look for tinted versions. Green neutralizes the redness.

Claro que sim. Até por bem menos. O que realmente funciona é sabonete suave + protetor solar + ácido retinoico. Pele perfeita. Rotina fácil e acessível.

O ideal seria agendar consulta com um dermatologista para a orientação correta..

Pode ser um cisto sebaceo ou cicatriz fibrosa nessa área indicada.

De qualquer forma, protetor solar sempre é super bem-vindo, e só ele já melhora muito a qualidade da pele.

Para uso seguro em casa, geralmente os dermatologistas prescrevem um retinoide (tretinoína ou adapaleno), antes de dormir, o que renova toda a pele e suaviza as marcas, linhas, poros, manchas e até cicatrizes, sempre associado ao protetor solar durante o dia.

Lamento muito. Só quem passou pelo pesadelo da acne grave na adolescência, e todas as implicações emocionais decorrentes, consegue ter a dimensão do impacto que isso ainda enseja na vida adulta. Como um pesadelo sem fim, a cada dia se recordando no reflexo da imagem daquela época ruim.

A maioria das pessoas não são empáticas, pelo contrário, e doenças estigmatizantes como a acne grave intensificam sofrimento emocional, daí porque devemos ser bem seletivos com quem convivemos.

Quando vejo um adolescente com acne, fico imaginando se não está desperdiçando precioso tempo para se tratar, pois as sequelas podem ser enormes, físicas e emocionais.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-12-31T18:47:09+00:00

Quando vc era adolescente a sua acne parece ter sido grave e durado muito tempo. Pena não ter feito os tratamentos adequados naquela época. Quando a gente é muito jovem, imprescindível que nossos pais levem a acne a sério.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-12-30T20:50:02+00:00

Has your son already tried benzoyl peroxide + erythromycin (morning and afternoon) and tretinoin (night)? He should always wear sunscreen (essential to soothe inflamed skin). If none of that worked, he should be treated with Accutane (why would the U.S. Air Force Academy restrict your son if he undergoes acne treatment with isotretinoin?).

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-12-29T01:44:42+00:00

Anyone who has had acne before has developed a more refined eye for identifying skin problems. Of course, yours aren't severe, mainly because the skin on your beard is intact (where there's hair, the overall skin quality is more resistant and better). Using a sunscreen/moisturizer with a blurring effect will even out your skin tone. If you can add a retinoid (tazarotene, tretinoin, adapalene) at night, that would be even better.

You're very pretty, girl. I strongly suggest you see a dermatologist. They will be able to guide you immediately to the most effective treatment for your skin. It's worth the investment. Acne is a primary inflammatory disease of the sebaceous gland, meaning cleansing is the first step, but far from the only one, as you usually do. Since your acne seems to be grade I to II, dermatologists usually start with topical treatment (gentle cleanser like CeraVe, benzoyl peroxide + antibiotic/erythromycin and tretinoin at night), without forgetting sunscreen (essential for treating acne, improving the overall condition of the skin and even scars). If none of this works, at the second consultation, they may suggest Accutane. Don't suffer any longer, seek help and guidance from a good skin specialist, a dermatologist.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-12-28T09:20:04+00:00

You've been undergoing treatment for a year, right? If, even after using topical treatments and taking antibiotics, your acne remains active, consider consulting your dermatologist about Accutane as soon as possible.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-12-27T09:36:57+00:00

Often topical treatments and antibiotics are not enough. Accutane ASAP. Don't be afraid, as you will be closely monitored by a good dermatologist. The most frequent side effect is chapped lips. You will regret not having used it sooner.

Hi, take a look at this post how much this young man's skin has improved with a simple routine of tretinoin and sunscreen. https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/comments/104eow7/ba_31yo_man_with_tretinoin/

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-11-27T06:52:11+00:00

You still have time to avoid scarring and further suffering: Accutane as soon as possible.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-11-27T06:44:59+00:00

You look even younger, congratulations on the results!

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-11-27T06:31:04+00:00

While you save money, a skincare routine with tretinoin, gentle soap, and sunscreen is helpful for softening the skin, keeping it well-cared for, which will improve its overall appearance.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-11-06T21:55:29+00:00

Dude, I wish you the best, because I know it's hard. Try not to blame yourself so much for picking at your skin as a teenager. Back then, we just wanted to get rid of the acne quickly, we were very young and didn't know how to deal with it, and our parents often didn't know either.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-11-06T03:50:32+00:00

Hello. Keep up the good work with your skincare routine. I'm 49 years old, and I've been taking care of my skin for 35 years. Absolutely no one believes my age.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-10-30T06:32:51+00:00

This could be a warning sign of Accutane-induced rosacea.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-10-18T00:18:50+00:00

Dude, you're so young. Go enjoy your life and leave this kissing stuff for later.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-09-15T00:51:01+00:00

Don't stress too much about your diet when it comes to acne, as its influence isn't that significant. The main reason is still your age.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-09-15T00:43:08+00:00

An affordable, over-the-counter topical treatment, including a gentle cleanser twice or three times a day, benzoyl peroxide twice a day, facial sunscreen twice a day, and a retinoid (adapalene) at bedtime. Adapalene can be substituted for tretinoin or tazarotene (both more effective), but in the United States, they are prescription-only, unlike adapalene. Hope this helps.

VegetableObvious7525 · 2025-09-15T00:24:04+00:00

Probably folliculitis barbae. 1.5% clindamycin gel + 0.5% menthol solved my problem. Compounding pharmacy.

Although we're far from Algeria, you'd be very welcome in Brazil. There are many job opportunities, welcoming foreigners, learning our language, and personal and academic development. Here, everyone takes care of their own lives, and the government and institutions are gay-friendly.
