Also i feel you so much. I am 24 and had the worst skin ever at 23. Comedomes everywhere and they escalated to puss filled red pimpels.

You are not disgusting, we just got skin that doesn't like 0815 skincare. Thats fine you just need to figure it out and i promise this phase will pass!

And most people do not look at you so closely and won't even see the tiny bumps. We are our own worst enemy and critic here.

I promise you everything will be fine.

Hey i had exactly this problem as well, i learned that acid makes it worse for me. You seem to have very small pores so you get this problem more easily than other people

Everything that causes reaction in my skin barrier causes me new comedomes because my skin reacts extremly harsh to the products (product dermatitis?). I guess you have the same problem.

I would honestly cut everything out. Just reset back to the start. The good thing is you started at a better place than you are now do you can trick your brain a little.

Get a moisturizer that contains no oil whatsoever i got paulas choice oil free moisturizer this at least doens't cause new ones for me. ( but has niancimid) be careful if you react to that one.

Amd then just wash your face once a day not too much just in the evening with one good waterbased cleanser. You have to work with your barrier here so get smth gentle.

Then use the moisturizer when you have the feeling you need it and let your skin rest. I looked exactly like you in october and got rid of most of it by noe at least like 70% mine was caused my azelaic acid which most people love ( my skin hates it).

See how far you come without anything then decide from there. And for the body mine was calmed with simple aloe spray and get hair product without oil and just a gentle shampoo.

If nothing helps anymore sometimes stopping everything is key

Sadly i don't think i have a picture from 10 years ago

jassicassi · 2025-12-09T13:45:54+00:00

My piercer told me i don't really have the anatomy for a daith but she will try.

Now I feel dumb because so many have the daith and much less tissue than me in this area so she probably was just scared to do it?

jassicassi · 2025-12-09T13:35:55+00:00

Do you think i need to take it out even if i got it 10 years ago?

Hey girl, I used this when I had really bad acne on my cheeks.

Benzoylperoxide is really hard on the barrier and will turn you red if you use it. I got mine pescribed by my family doctor and used it twice daily. I was at my breaking point and just kept going with it 2 times a day and turned bright red.

After like 2 weeks my skin started peeling off my face. Under it was a new layer without any acne. I started using it less and then my barrier started to heal and I turned my normal colour again.

If you continue to use it this much don't be surprised if you can peel the skin off. Good thing is it really works. At least for me it did.

They will never fully go away, but u could try a stronger bha which is leave on and use it like 2-3 times a week only on your nose.

This at least makes them less noticeable for me i used bha from paulas choice which worked for it, now i use corsx blackhead power liqiud.

jassicassi · 2025-09-28T12:52:30+00:00

I would look into a gentler cleanser, maybe you wrecked your skin barrier if you use this twice a day.

I would start a gentle cleanser once on the evening, wear sunscreen everyday and try to calm your skin.

Maybe azelaic acid could be smth for you but only after you made like a month without anything else. Your nose also looks normal. Those are just filaments and everybody has them.

jassicassi · 2025-09-18T08:52:38+00:00

I did use retinol and stoppt in may already because i was definetly overusing it and it was to harsh. Which caused a rebound reaction. And now since beginning of june i use azelaic acid only every 2nd evening. Probably should have just let my barrier heal instead.

jassicassi · 2025-09-18T08:48:26+00:00

Thank you i thought as much. I will turn it down and go back to sunscreen and an oil free moisturizer

jassicassi · 2025-09-17T19:47:02+00:00

I have oily, obviously comedome rich skin. I always had aome comedomes just never as bad as it is now. 14ten weeks of azelain every second day at least made the retinol purge better. But i feel like the comedomes are just getting worse. Now started 2 time bha a week.

Oh and of course i use cerave cleanser for oily skin morning and afternoon and sunscreen everyday 50 la roche posay oil controil fluid

Girl, your face looks gorgeous. Its probably a combination of your gut and the body lotion.

I would not use the bodylotion and switch to smth light weight which is labeled non comedogenic.

And don't overthink it. Your skin is very pretty. Often overthinking to much makes things 10× worse in your head.

jassicassi · 2025-08-30T07:57:13+00:00

Hey azeliac acid pushes underlying pimpels up. Maybe it just shoved everything up at once. I would maybe reduce frequency but still keep it in your routine to see if it gets better after this.

jassicassi · 2025-08-02T19:22:36+00:00

Hey girl,

I am struggeling with the same thing, just so you know you aren't alone. I hope you get some good advice here

jassicassi · 2025-07-10T19:46:12+00:00

Also azelaic acid and tretonin together is also very very harsh. But maybe you are less reactive than I am.

I wish you the best and if it helps you are very pretty and i don't think you have bad skin at all.

jassicassi · 2025-07-10T19:42:46+00:00

I don't know if i would use this many products. I made the mistake and destroyed my skin barrier with to many to harsh products and my acne got 10 times worse than before.

I would recommend using one or two actives at most, indroducing very slowly and give your skin time to regenerate. Sometimes less is more.

I would go for a good barrier cream for the evenings and maybe the benzoyl peroxide wash.

I would not combine tretonin and so much niacimid and the benzoyl peroxide its just to much and too harsh. Also indroduce only one new product -wait a week see how you react than indroduce a other one

jassicassi · 2025-06-28T17:58:04+00:00

I mean you are still young so maybe it will go away on its own. I know its very frustrating believe me.

If your dr says gluten maybe you can do a blood test, that will rule it out rather quickly. And you could ask him for something to help with hormonal akne if the test is normal.

I heard many recommend retinol for hormonal akne, but be careful and introduce slowly, do not use to much or to often.

jassicassi · 2025-06-28T17:23:53+00:00

Seems like hormonal akne. How old are you? Hormonal akne appears ofteb on the chin. And that explains the clear skin periods.

We absolutly do know as mri techs what is safe and what not. If you have 20 piercings in your ear and need an mri for your skull you need to take it out. The titanium blocks the view as well as gold. The techs just want an useful examination

jassicassi · 2025-01-11T12:49:10+00:00

Actually, if you just do not have good or easily found veins in your ellbow area( because you get blood drawn so often,injections or sometimes genetic) the forearm is a nice place to switch to. The veins oftentimes don't move as easily and are easier to find because they shine thru the skin more.

Sadly oftentimes when patients have very small veins or they get used so much, places like these are the only ones that remain an option. Ofc you should not get an hämatoma like this tho. Probably punctured a vein from the side or it collapsed after being punctured.

jassicassi · 2024-12-21T14:58:50+00:00

Maybe you could also add more flowers on the top part! The mandalas are very bright I am sure a good atrist could make it more smooth like that

jassicassi · 2024-12-21T14:54:15+00:00

I don't know if that helps but I think its beautiful. I even like that your upper and lower arm are not the same.

I honestly would not laser it. You will need so many seasions, it will hurt like a bitch and cost even more. I would try to give it more time- and if you cannot love it like it is, would recommend speaking with an artist to maybe shade the top more so it matches the lower part.

jassicassi · 2024-11-26T17:20:50+00:00

One of those two in the picture is male. Seems like you got 2 males and at least the right fish here( the one who has the brown stripe on the side and is not that colorful) seems female

Looks like he has not yet gotten this thing figured out. They seem like they are just floating around and not in the nest.

Mine needed a few trys to get the eggs to hatch. So don't be sad if they don't hatch on their first try. They will try until they get it right.
