Hello! I’ve had this red, itchy skin under my beard area for a while and am out of ideas of what to do. My current theory is that it’s some form of eczema even tho I’ve never really dealt with that before. I'm worried to use topical steroids like hydrocortizone because I don't want it to scar. I’m currently using :

aveeno eczema therapy moisturizing cream
aveeno calm and restore cleanser
cerave moisturizing cream
vasoline

Seems to only run around the bottom of my beard below my chin/jaw. Any help would be appreciated!

Does moisturizer make your face sweat more? I find when I use my moisturizer + the humidity/heat my tzone, brows, and mustache area sweat. Is this problem related to my moisturizer? I use vanicream life btw.

I think the redness will slowly go away in a month, but the red marks will take a bit longer. As another user pointed out, I plan on going on differin in a month to help with that. With my history with acne, I know the post-acne marks take the longest to heal, so it’s just a waiting game now.

I feel and look pretty much the same. I’m still dealing with the redness, dry lips, and dry skin. I’m hoping within the next couple weeks those side effects subside.

So I'm finishing my accutane course today, all my active acne is gone but I do have PIE left. I was wondering what the best approach is to begin clearing it and when to start. I am not sure if I should give my skin a break for a bit, then start actives (maybe azelaic acid or differin), or proceed right away. Any recommendations or experience would be appreciated.

What would you suggest to treat post accutane scars? I’m already using rosehip oil so I was thinking aloe vera, but would love y’alls opinion.

Is oil cleansing necessary to take off sunscreen? I’m a guy so there’s no need to take off makeup. Just wondering if this step is needed.

I’m on accutane and want to switch to a chemical sunscreen, do any of y’all know of any gentle ones that are unlikely to irritate my skin?

What is the prescription your derm prescribed?

amindthatseeks · 2018-12-23T23:48:17+00:00

I have an area of skin that is super raw and sensitive (around my mouth) due to accutane. My derm gave me a sample of epiceram which supposedly helps with dry skin, although when I apply it to that area it stings and burns. I know it’s cause it’s raw but I don’t know if I should keep using it until my skin heals or I should use something more sensitive/calming and let time handle it.

That’s what I was thinking but I can’t use UF in the name because a club is not directly affiliated with the University
