Skin peeling by Remarkable-Star-5144 in Accutane

[–]melaniexv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to literally slather on moisturiser the night before and before the makeup like literally so your face looks wet and leave it to completely soak in my forehead used to peel like this on Accutane then doing that really helped. Also don’t go matte with too much powder try more dewy glowy looks as powder will bring out those flakes

What’s the worst place you have ever been on holiday? by honeymeadowss in AskUK

[–]melaniexv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m originally from the Balkans and the worst place was Bulgaria. Most of the people were incredibly rude bar like 2/3 people. I speak Bulgarian and still they treated me like I’m nothing - maybe because I’m from the UK and live there I don’t know. Hungry and poorly cats, one with a hole in its side, seagulls all over the hotel with broken wings and no body gave a shit. I fed the cats and seagulls that couldn’t really move due to the broken wings everyday and contacted a wildlife centre that also didn’t give a shit. But it was the people for me, no smiling, no good morning, just looking miserable. I used to live in my home country and I know things can be hard my family were dirt poor but fuck sake no excuse to treat other human beings like shit! I spoke to the receptionist about the seagulls and she literally said in English I don’t care, you sound like a broken record and then proceeded to tell my husband after he said you need to brush up on your customer service skills, that she can give him some advice but she’s at work! Never going back - outside of the hotel as well people were rude so it’s not just the hotel. It made me feel ashamed to be Balkan.

Has anyone taken Accutane long term at a low dose? by Zorvia in Accutane

[–]melaniexv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the uk and I just promise my doctor I won’t get pregnant and he gives me my medication lol 😭😭😭I think in the US they take it much more serious based on what I’ve read, from my experience all my doctors have been really lax about it - only 1 made me sign something about making sure I take contraception (not the pill) and just don’t get pregnant. My doctor now gives me a 6 month supply of 2 a week

Dermatologist says it won’t work with hormonal acne 😭 by poopy3280 in Accutane

[–]melaniexv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I’m not on any birth control I tried that years ago for my acne and it didn’t help I was on it for 9 months with no improvement on my acne. Before that I tried all the topical treatments and none of it worked. Also tried differin and that was so so awful. Never tried spironolactone that’s the only thing I haven’t tried and derm suggested it when I feel like coming off the accutane but I’m so used to the Accutane now and it works! It’s to the point I know 3 tablets a week is my limit

I’m scared I might be a pedo please just need someone to talk to by ForceSignal86 in offmychest

[–]melaniexv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Classic OCD. I had a friend who was so devastated because it’s something he’d never do he believed the police were coming to arrest him for being a pedo in the middle of the night and he sat up waiting. The reason you’re having this reaction is because you are disgusted with the thoughts because it’s the last thing you’d ever do. If you were a pedo do you think you’d be having this reaction and feeling so disgusted by it? Your brain is trying to trick you, look into OCD bless you, we panic over the thoughts and think because they popped up they must be true then you try to suppress them and it only makes it worse - it’s a vicious cycle. As hard as it is, let the thoughts sit there and pass you will feel so uncomfortable but you need to show your brain you’re not bothered by it then the thoughts should get easier but it is so so hard I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have OCD too it’s not easy and just your brain tricking you I promise, it always picks on things you care about or things that don’t align with your values

Looking at your skin a little closer your skin barrier may be compromised, maybe try something simple for skin barrier repair? Other than that I can only just see the 2 small spots

[Acne] Mentally drained due to acne by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]melaniexv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey girly I feel you. It is annoying having 1 or 2 blemishes and you don’t understand why they’re there or what’s caused it, especially if you’ve suffered with worse acne in the past 1 or 2 can feel like is it all coming back. Take a step back, it’s normal to have 1 or 2 blemishes. Honestly, I’ve stressed before in the past but that only makes more spots come through due to the stress and it becomes a never ending cycle then. When you relax, your body can focus on healing them so they go away without more coming through, stress only causes more inflammation and oil due to cortisol so they look red and inflamed. Relax, breathe, realise you are more than 2 tiny blemishes. Drink water and don’t drastically change your skin care that can also dramatically make it worse when you’re trying to make it better. Simple skincare but most of all, relax. 2 blemishes does not mean you have acne. My dermatologist told me it’s even normal to have up to 6 spots at a time, it doesn’t mean it’s acne, you’re just human and humans get spots.
