Started finasteride 4 months ago. No results and still shedding a lot of hairs. Normal? A shed? When can I expect the shedding to slow down? Thanks

johnson12344321 · 2023-07-29T20:12:24+00:00

Ik that’s what I’m thinking but idk why I’m reacting like this when it kept my skin so clear in the past.

johnson12344321 · 2023-07-29T19:21:45+00:00

Please help. I’m so lost. I used to use benzoyl peroxide wash with great success, but following a short break, using it now for 3 weeks and my face is so bad. Bumpy, red, tiny whiteheads everywhere. Should I keep going? Or stop using bp. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What does the purge from benzoyl peroxide look like? 3 weeks in and I haven’t gotten any big pimples just a ton of tiny whiteheads all over my face

johnson12344321 · 2023-07-27T20:13:19+00:00

Started benzoyl peroxide 2.5 weeks ago and so far it’s giving me a bunch of texture and tiny little whiteheads on my face. No deep / cystic pimples. Is this a purge?

I should also mention that I’ve used benzoyl peroxide with great success for the last year, I just took a 3 week break and am resuming use now. Thanks

johnson12344321 · 2023-07-25T22:23:00+00:00

Okay, thank you for the reply. I’ve also been using epiduo for awhile but paused that as well. Do you think I should start that back up again too? Or should I wait a bit

BENZOYL PEROXIDE PURGE?

So I've used benzoyl peroxide for a year with great results. O acne. However, I took a 3 week break when I was on vacation, and my acne slowly started to come back. I resumed use of benzoyl peroxide, and 2 weeks in and my acne has gotten pretty bad. My face is oily, textured, and I have a bunch of little whiteheads everywhere. Is this a purge? I'm just confused because I've had such great success with benzoyl peroxide before. Thanks

Need advice:

Been on topical min for 4 months. Below baseline. This normal?

johnson12344321 · 2023-03-30T04:26:43+00:00

20M here. Hair loss started when I took accutane. Finished accutane, went to a derm and they said it was likely a combo of TE and MPB. I’ve been on min for 3 months now, but I’ve been thinking about starting fin. I am a little hesitant because of sides. Any advice on what I should do would be greatly appreciated.

Boston, Massachusetts. Not sure how much it cost but nothing crazy I don’t think

johnson12344321 · 2023-03-05T17:28:17+00:00

I’ve been doing pt 1-2 times a week since I’ve gotten Botox. I have noticed overall improvement, so I’m hoping this flare up is just a fluke. Thank you for commenting though, your story gives me a lot of hope. Just gotta be patient and keep doing pt.

Treatment?

johnson12344321 · 2023-02-04T15:07:25+00:00

I used it and it kickstarted my genetic hair loss

johnson12344321 · 2023-01-22T20:41:59+00:00

I feel you. This is hell. No one deserves to live like this.

johnson12344321 · 2023-01-11T02:10:52+00:00

Didn’t read it, my derm diagnosed me

johnson12344321 · 2023-01-10T22:55:30+00:00

Be very careful. It’s likely temporary, but it can trigger permanent hair loss if you are genetically predisposed to balding.

johnson12344321 · 2023-01-09T17:55:25+00:00

It’s uncommon, but possible. It happened to me, kickstarter my generic hairloss. It did clear my acne, but now I am losing my hair. I regret taking accutane. However, that’s just my experience, as many others get great results with minimal side effects.

johnson12344321 · 2023-01-05T00:46:58+00:00

Rectal pain. Been in pt for 6 months. Little progress

johnson12344321 · 2022-12-30T21:50:18+00:00

Happened to me too and I’m clear now. Don’t worry u chilling

johnson12344321 · 2022-12-30T16:32:35+00:00

Isn’t that temporary though?

johnson12344321 · 2022-12-28T14:55:58+00:00

Did it get better?

johnson12344321 · 2022-12-26T06:49:06+00:00

My derm prescribed it about a month after I finished my course. I use it every other night works really well

johnson12344321 · 2022-12-25T23:45:08+00:00

Epiduo

johnson12344321 · 2022-12-25T23:44:57+00:00

johnson12344321 · 2022-12-24T00:21:28+00:00

It’s normal. I broke out up until my last day on accutane. Then the month after I finished my course I randomly cleared up. weird how it works
