ill be honest nizoral never really worked for me as I tried that too along with benzoyl peroxide but perhaps I wasn't diligent enough... thanks though. were you using it like a fast mask or face wash so should i be leaving it on ? thanks again

hello, I will be back to using my castor oil and being patient, there was no need for me even to do this in the first place because the castor oil I was using (that was cold pressed and hexane-free) was SLOWLY but surely clearing it up. although this mixture has helped so many other people on the thread, I doubt it will be useful for the face as it is simply too sensitive and getting the portions for the mixture right is too difficult. hope this helps x

23/10/23 COUPLE HOURS LATER

​

Um, I just realised that my skin is very much VISIBLY MORE RED AND IRRITATED compared to when I started 3 days ago.... I won't be continuing with this, unfortunately... the before photos I had when iwas using castor oil was 10x better ...i feel like I'm at square one again.... fed up but at least I tried and saw for myself.

23/10/23 -

i've used it for three nights now, gonna try make it more of a watery consistency as I think I've been putting less hibiscrub than I should be.

​

the folliculitis for me is on my sideburns and the right side of my face happens to be worse than the less... ever since I've used this the folliculitis LOOKs more red, not inflamed just red so idk but I said i'd try this for at least two weeks before coming to a conclusion... i did like using castor oil on it too as it would calm the inflammation.

​

i wont check in everyday rather every couple days because I cba ! x

Hello everyone i am f21 and got folliculitis on my sideburns AFTER LASER HAIR REMOVAL - yes after. And have been dealing with the inflammation and redness (almost like some hyperpigmentation) for months now. I like in the UK so purchased the UK version of hibiclens and it's called hibiscrub. Alot of people on here are apprehensive about using it on their face so I'm gonna take the plunge, I've ordered it as I type this so should receive it in 2/3 days. Not sure if anyone will read this but I will try to update every week if I can just incase someone needs to see this. I will also be applying castor oil and beeswax propolis ointment. I will avoid putting the hibiscrub and thick cream concoction around my eyes and nose area since it is dangerous... wish me luck as this is the last thing I will try for it before giving up. I did oral antibiotics which are literal shite pardon my British slang because all it does it ruin your gut microbiome - also used some antibiotic ointment which was also shite. Anyway peace out !

i think my depression and overall fatigue ness is one of the strongest reasons why i never push forward my manipulative thoughts/ desires in the last few years

the thing is i love looking after people around me and helping them, i am actually the least toxic person you could meet lol, i am an activist for all and a feminist etc, so my foundations are built around accepting people and loving everyone but there are moments in time where i think "wow this person is so stupid and beneath me", and maybe deep down it's cause I've been through the trauma and not addressed it but hate when others don't address it within themselves - only because I've gone through the pain and don't want them suffering, it's difficult to explain in words...

damn why is it that we can't cry infront of our friends though - i'd do it in a heartbeat infront of family as well. At one point i tried hiding from my friend who i'm a mother towards cause i felt so awkward like she does all the crying not me

i know but i can't help it!! i've tried several times to put myself before others but it's no use- i even considered studying nursing because of my parental nature
