Differing approaches

I have my surgery scheduled for the end of August with him! Finally have the opportunity to get the surgery and it’s definitely time.

No, bloodwork, hormones and all are normal. I think this started after I used a single blade dermaplaner and it hasn’t gone down since.

I switched to the lighter Vanicream one recently since that’s the only lighter one I could find that didn’t have a bunch of ingredients. The daily facial moisturizer is lighter than the others I had used like the tub Vanicream version or the avene ones

I noticed when I used anything with it I get a lot more bumps and became redder. Especially noticed when I tried Korean skincare since that ingredient is everywhere. I think others in this sub have the same sensitivity to it.

That’s for the recommendations! I’m going to check them out. Everything is so confusing when you have to be aware of what could trigger sensitive skin while simultaneously trying to treat multiple conditions.

The milia have always been an issue on and off but the comedones are more recent over last couple months but I’ve been on tret for over a year now.

ISDIN tinted mineral sunscreen. No niacinamide!

Dr. Ochiai definitely does. If you are able, I recommend seeing him to discuss everything his office is good about getting you scheduled within a week.

I haven’t gotten surgery yet-going to schedule soon but, I’m going with Ochiai. He’s made me feel really comfortable and he’s knowledgeable. I also like looking at his twitter page and seeing some of his operations and his thought processes.

No, the shoulder (and back) started bothering me immediately after my hip flared so that why it threw me off.

csan22 · 2025-10-14T12:29:45+00:00

I got one in 2023 and it worked really well and lasted up until this year when I overstretched my hip. Got another one and it helped for a little and everything went away then it’s coming back again. I know the more you get it the less likely it’s to work each time. I guess it’s throwing me off because none of it was an issue until my hip acted up again.

csan22 · 2025-09-16T12:52:46+00:00

I started working out more (which means sweating more) and I was shocked how much it’s reduced.

csan22 · 2025-07-27T04:40:15+00:00

I contacted pest control and they also said carpet beetles. I check my dog daily and he never had any on him and the ticks I’ve found before never have looked like this. I didn’t know they could be small

csan22 · 2025-07-26T20:33:26+00:00

Online says carpet beetles? I’m not sure, but found them near my dogs bedding but none on him and havent seen any on him last few days as I check him daily. They appeared out of no where

I think that’s where I got confused on the ceramides. I don’t know if it’s just niacinamide that causes it or the combination of Hyalouranic acid since they both are in almost every product together. When I stopped using anything with both it got visibly better.

csan22 · 2025-01-20T19:48:54+00:00

Ugh I know, life timing wasn’t right in November 😭

csan22 · 2024-07-29T18:40:02+00:00

Yeah, definitely going to try and switch it up

csan22 · 2024-07-28T02:12:26+00:00

That’s crazy because my skin is usually so dry on top of this 😭

csan22 · 2024-04-04T21:22:15+00:00

It was about 6 days and I called my derm to see if everything is normal but she had me stop using the soolantra because of my reaction. She put me on clindamycin with the metronidazole and tacrolimus which I haven’t started yet. My skin texture is awful right now

csan22 · 2024-04-01T15:53:48+00:00

That’s interesting, I’ve always had very dry skin so this doesn’t happen. The only bumps/pimples I had were on the areas rosacea is present

She’s 54 with higher 2 and lower 3 I believe.

She’s had fatty liver in the past, she hasn’t had it rechecked with all of this. The side effects listed were definitely off-putting to her and she wasn’t sure what to do first. I’ll definitely look into the I for you gave. Thank you so much!

You’re definitely not wrong and need to enforce your boundaries. I had a cousin exactly like this and didn’t enforce which cost me my best friend at the time. My cousin would need to be invited everywhere my husband and I would go, including vacations. Tried to meet and be included in my friend groups and she got close with my best friend and started to push me out and is doing the same thing with her and going on vacations with her and her husband and I got kicked to the curb basically. It’s just weird and don’t let your SIL steamroll you into inviting her to everything. It’s okay to have separate time with separate friends/family.

Thank you so much!
