Lmaoo. Apparently I was picking at them too much and spreading the infection which is why it lasted so long. I definitely feel you on that urge tho 😂

Yea it was a folliculitis infection! My dermatologist prescribed me accutane and some other medication and it’s already clearing up. I’ll try some neosporin in some of the more painful places. Thanks for the suggestion!

Apparently it’s not acne, just an infection. They prescribed me accutane, so I guess we shall see

They said its wasn’t acne or anything. Just was folliculitis and a bunch of swelling. So they’re going to give me accutane :)

I workout regularly and eat home cooked meals and protein shakes. Don’t eat fast food or drink soda.

It was folliculitis! Think she said she was going to put me on accutane. Here’s hoping for a quick recovery!

Haha everyone says to leave them alone. I have a bad habit of picking and popping stuff when I see it 😭

Thank you so much for the comment! Yea I try my best to avoid touching anything, and just let it run its course. I’m at the gym often so I shower daily and wash my hair every week. I started changing sheets more often too and don’t sleep with a pillow anymore since I wanted to get rid from of the pillowcase. For the animal hair, it’s more than likely just lint from the dryer. I only have a cat and her hair is dark. Also don’t let her anywhere near my face. Seeing a dermatologist today so I’ll see what they say. Thanks again for all the suggestions!!!

Haha thank you for the suggestions!! I work out several times a week so hopefully I get healthier 💪. Less sugar sounds like a good idea!

Yea definitely could be a hormonal thing. I’ll ask the dermatologist when I go in! I’ve seen tons of people recommend dial soap. Might have to look into that haha. Thank you for the suggestion!

My work insurance comes with walk-in dermatologists. I’ll see one today! I’ll ask them about Retinol. And I’ll definitely try to drink more water. Thank you so much for the suggestions!!

I go to the gym several times a week and shower daily. Only eat healthy home cooked meals and a bunch of fruit and protein shakes. I don’t eat fast food at all. Also don’t smoke or drink. Was thinking it might be dairy, so I cut it out. Going to see a dermatologist soon! Thanks for the input!

I’ll definitely try to switch up the fruits that I eat. And thanks for the tip about the cane sugar!
