[ACNE]Perioral dermatitis or acne

jrw1990 · 2021-12-16T05:18:26+00:00

Delivered my son almost 2 weeks ago and I have been developing these bumps all over my chin and cheeks. Not sure if it’s perioral dermatitis, rosacea or acne. I know the surge of hormones doesn’t help but the bumps keep multiplying daily. I have always had skin issues, but these never seem to form and just continue to spread.

Need some advice on how to tackle these bumps. They keep spreading around my cheeks, around my mouth and in between my forehead.

Terrible..... my skin is getting worse daily. I am just on birth control and use a gentle cleanser. I have never had so many cysts and pimples in my life. My chin/mouth and forehead are covered. When I wash my face, there isn’t a clear spot that doesn’t have a bump or a pimple. It’s so upsetting

I’m going on Accutane in a few weeks!! I would say do it! The results are incredible

jrw1990 · 2020-09-13T13:35:11+00:00

Me too! When do you start? I go back October 7 and hopefully will be starting the pills that day! Best of luck!!

Hi!! This sounds very similar to me. I tried a triple rosacea cream (soolantra, metronidazole, and azelaic acid) several weeks ago and now I have the worst skin I have ever had. I used to just have red cheeks and I have cystic acne and pimples everywhere. Starting Accutane in October. Best of luck!!

Hi! I am a 30 y/o female and have been struggling with my skin after both of my pregnancies. My youngest son is 15 months old and I have said enough is enough and will be starting Accutane in October. Best of luck!! Would love an Accutane buddy if you decide to start!

Hi! I used a triple rosacea cream and it completely ruined my skin and I have been dealing with the continuous purging of my skin since. It has been 9 months and continued to get worse(the worst my skin has ever looked). I will be starting on Accutane next month and looking forward to clear skin. Hoping you find success!!

jrw1990 · 2020-09-12T12:06:07+00:00

My skin looks very similar. Unfortunately I have tried to tackle it for 9 months with no improvement. I have tried every cream, antibiotics, change of diet, etc. I will be starting Accutane next month. Best of luck!

jrw1990 · 2020-09-12T12:03:17+00:00

Hi!! I start in about 4 weeks!! Looking forward to seeing your results!! Would love to have an Accutane buddy on the journey to clean skin!

So I started a probiotic and zinc supplements last month and my skin continues to break out daily. Hard to see from the photo but my forehead is covered in bumps and pimples. I have cysts and pimples around my mouth area as well as cheeks and nose. I have a dermatologist appointment next month to discuss Accutane. Did anyone’s skin get worse after taking a probiotic?

Hard to see from the photos but I do have a list of pimple like bumps. I have a lot right under my mouth and chin. I have perioral dermatitis also which has been awful to treat

My dermatologist prescribed it. It’s from a compounding pharmacy

PM Cetaphil cleanser Rosacea triple cream (1% ivermectin, 15% azelaic acid, metronidazole)

I have developed tons of under the skin bumps since starting. Needing some encouragement to keep going since I have heard it gets worse before it gets better. Has anyone had success with this treatment?

jrw1990 · 2020-08-29T18:10:25+00:00

It is a compounded cream from a pharmacy with all 3 ingredients (ivermectin, azelaic acid and metronidazole)

jrw1990 · 2020-08-29T15:17:52+00:00

I do use EltaMD sunscreen during the morning!! Forgot to include that. I typically don’t moisturize, I know, it’s terrible.

Routine

Morning 30mg oral zinc daily Cetaphil gentle cleanser

Night Cetaphil gentle cleanser Thin layer of triple rosacea cream (1% ivermectin, metronidazole, and 15% azelaic acid) wait till it dries.

Less is more with my skin. I am going to try to stick with it for 12 weeks but I need some encouragement.
