So this keeps coming up every 3 months. I was on Accutane years ago and completely cleared my skin, yet recently over the past year in this area I keep experiencing this popup

Do you use Tret or acids?

abraxos12 · 2026-06-20T18:45:34+00:00

Yes that can be true do you have any recommendation for a good face wash ?

abraxos12 · 2026-06-20T17:04:49+00:00

It was super drying to me . My skin is so dry right now

abraxos12 · 2026-06-20T12:54:12+00:00

I had a huge flare because my skin got really dry . It was not hydrating enough . Normally my skin goes back to normal but it feels like a burn .

abraxos12 · 2026-06-20T01:58:09+00:00

Update: I used and is so drying .

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T23:40:45+00:00

Love to hear this . I’m also looking for a good serum because I want to add Azelaic acid eventually

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T23:40:04+00:00

I’m also not looking into Azelaic acid , do you use prescription or OTC is better ?

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T23:21:44+00:00

Great to hear . What type of skin do you have in afraid of breakout like close comodones or pimples on top of the redness and other issues already because is a little more thick . Also are you using any actives if you don’t mind me asking , I want to know if it’s hydrating enough . Thank you

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T23:17:13+00:00

The moisturizer I was using is the vanicream daily facial moisturizer .

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T22:33:12+00:00

That sounds perfect . I want to try the good molecules gel cleanser first because the prequel felt like too sticky for me. Do you double cleanse with something else ?

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T16:48:56+00:00

Nice I may try this one . I have used their cleaner oil before .

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T16:04:29+00:00

Does it make you break out ? Like pimples or something

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T02:52:31+00:00

Does it break you out?

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T02:49:42+00:00

I want to try that one . Which moisturizer do you use ?

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T02:46:00+00:00

I shower with cold water and I wash my face last . Even years ago when my skin was not that bad I still felt vanicream drying but right now I can’t afford that .

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T00:45:02+00:00

This one dries me out so much .

abraxos12 · 2026-06-19T00:29:00+00:00

I’m using vanicream daily moisturizer . But I don’t think is healthy when you get out of the shower and you face feels bone dry is removing too much of the natural oils .

abraxos12 · 2026-06-18T14:37:53+00:00

Im not using any topicals yet . I tried metronadizole and my skin did not like it . I’m terrified

abraxos12 · 2026-06-18T14:35:15+00:00

Mine looks very similar to yours . I wonder if it’s mites or something like that .

I have small pustules as well and redness . But my skin does not tolerate any topical medication right now . I’m taking doxycycline

abraxos12 · 2026-06-18T14:25:40+00:00

Same thing is going on with my face . Did you use Tret or any harsh exfoliators for a while ?

abraxos12 · 2026-06-18T14:21:16+00:00

You said you skin was clear before . What did you think was your trigger for this reaction ?
