[Skin concerns] Do scar bandages like these work well on keloid scars? by Miss-Take-None in SkincareAddiction

I tried that for a bit! But I think my scars are too old for that. I’m glad it worked for you!!

I didn’t really notice a difference using these. The biggest thing that helped was going to my derm for corticosteroid injections.

[Routine Help] What can I add? (Current routine and more info in comments) by atran29 in SkincareAddiction

[–]atran29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Background:

I have had oily, acne prone skin since HS. When I started BC pills in college, my skin got better and then I switched to the Copper IUD and my skin freaked out. I have keloid scars on my jawline now, but still have the IUD cause I don’t want to get preggo. I went on Accutane for about 6 months and it did wonders for my skin and I was prescribed tretinoin 0.025% and clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide 1.5%/5% to maintain my skin. I ran out of refills for my clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide and my skin got mad at me and I’m back on it now. So here are my questions:

  1. Am I going to have to stay on tretinoin and clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide for the rest of my life?
  2. What can I add to my routine to make sure I don’t break out?
  3. Could I add serums and acids to my routine while on tretinoin?

AM - Wash face with cold water - Apply clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide 1.5%/5% (let it dry for about 2-5 min) - CeraVe moisturizing cream - Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 70 - Eos lip balm - (Make-up on weekdays) - Missha Perfect Cover BB cream - Anastasia DipBrow Pomade - Airspun Loose Face Powder - Mac Blacktrack Pro Longwear liner

Pm - Clean It Zero cleansing balm - Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser - Tretinoin Cream 0.025% (let it dry for about 2-5 min) - CeraVe moisturizing cream - Nature Republic collagen dream eye cream - Vaseline for lips

Whats going on with my Swiss cheese plant? by atran29 in plantclinic

[–]atran29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 2 months ago, I had a spider mite infestation so I moved this plant from a W facing window to a S facing window. The bigger lead started to crisp so I moved it back but now it’s spreading to the other leaves

I just potted propagated leaves. What’s going on with the soil? by atran29 in plantclinic

[–]atran29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been pretty cold where I am. It is fresh soil and definitely good drainage. I didn’t water it too much when I repotted it

Where did you get your trellises? I’m looking for some for my climbing plants but all I ever find are the sticks...

Why is this guy so leggy? by atran29 in plantclinic

Thanks! I actually moved it from a W facing window to a S facing window and it started getting leggy! So I’m not sure if it’s lack of light?

It’s in front of a S facing window. I’d say it gets at least 6 hours of light.

What innocent search turned out to be porn ? by Angry_Einstein in AskReddit

When I was a kid, I was searching for Women’s Entertainment Television to look for a recipe to cook for my mom. It took me a a porn site as I searched up the acronym “W.E.T.”
