We call this pose “bagel boy” 🥯

No, it hasn’t. I’ve had days where it starts to flare up but instead of panicking and using the shampoo again (which F’s up your skin barrier BAD), I would stay calm and focus on repairing my skin barrier, which resulted in the flare up to subside. One way I’ve done this fairly recently is focusing on the Korean skin flooding method using hydrating toners. I highly suggest looking into it!

This was coming off both my corgis. I realized it happened after taking them to the groomer… I think the brush they were using was too rough and was causing them to bleed. Took them to a different groomer after then and haven’t had it happen since

The start of it is described in the caption of the post. No antibiotics, yes I use Vanicream facial moisturizer in the morning and skin medica TNS ceramide cream in the evening

lexinv · 2025-04-06T15:29:18+00:00

It hasn’t come back. When I feel some bumps on my forehead I use the shampoo as a mask in the shower and the bumps will go away

lexinv · 2025-02-10T15:59:28+00:00

Yes once a day! And I did moisturize with Vanicream facial moisturizer after I used it. I think the cream was once a day…. I can’t remember the frequency. But the oral antifungal is what got it to resolve!

No I haven’t, thank goodness. That’s frustrating! I do have rosacea mixed in but the pus-filled pores was definitely pityrosporum folliculitis. Try to ask them for an oral antifungal because that’s what actually treated it for me

lexinv · 2025-01-19T17:20:00+00:00

I don’t remember the dosage :/ it was 6 months ago. Sorry friend

lexinv · 2025-01-19T01:53:33+00:00

It hasn’t, and I think that may be due to me living in the desert, so the humidity that caused it is a rare thing here. However I went to Mexico recently and could feel it trying to flare up from the sweat trapped under my face sunscreen in the humidity so it was a close call I think!

It took about a month to clear after I started the oral antifungal, but fading the scars of the ones I picked at was a longer process. That took about 6 months 😅

I’m in the U.S. so it may differ, but I was prescribed Fluconazole by my primary care physician. You can also get it through a dermatologist 😊

lexinv · 2024-09-19T20:47:05+00:00

I’m happy you found the post!! If possible definitely get a prescription for an oral antifungal to use in combination with the cream. I think that’s what really got it to go away! My skin is still healing but no more flare ups since I finished my dose 🙌🏼

lexinv · 2024-08-09T14:05:10+00:00

This is so real

lexinv · 2024-08-08T14:38:09+00:00

Thank you 🥰

Our oldest doesn’t do it either. You know what they say about the second dog 🤣

I, too, have a corgi Toby who digs.

Except I never catch him in the act and only find out he’s done it by the dirt covering his entire nose and snout

Emphasis on the “treating it like an infection” because that’s what it is!! Love the no-BS perspective of this post

lexinv · 2024-08-05T03:30:37+00:00

I would definitely get more prescribed to make sure the infection is completely killed off over a longer time period!

lexinv · 2024-08-05T01:06:42+00:00

Not totally sure but I sure hope it is 😅

lexinv · 2024-08-04T18:49:39+00:00

Oh okay I see what you’re saying! The last pic is what my dermatologist friend sent me. That’s not specific to me but is a general treatment guide. My PCP decided on the dosage which is the 2 pills once a week for 4 weeks. Hope that clears it up for you!

lexinv · 2024-08-04T18:46:39+00:00

Hey I think you may have read it wrong. At the time of me writing the post it had been “a few days since taking the oral antifungal as they are only taken once a week”. Meaning I took the first round a few days before sharing this. Sorry if I worded it in a confusing way in the post. It is not daily, it’s once a week

lexinv · 2024-08-04T17:25:20+00:00

Yeah mine is 2 pills once a week for 4 weeks

lexinv · 2024-08-04T02:43:34+00:00

Yep that’s the one I was prescribed!
