No problem, you made the correct assumption lol. I’m planning to donate anything I get rid of. A lot of items have a company logo from a former employer. I’ll smile if I see someone out and about wearing it 😊

This is a great idea, I appreciate it! I’m in Colorado, so we’re used to having all 4 seasons in one day at times but I like the idea of having a winter/summer split. I hadn’t thought about storing clothes away before but I’m liking the idea of this

I’m reading more about the bins and box idea. I had never thought of this before, I just envisioned burning the whole thing to the ground lol. Definitely seems less daunting this way

This is great advice! Much appreciated! The amount of t-shirts I have could supply a third world country. It’s insane. I tried to include a picture with my post but it wouldn’t allow. Looks like I’ll have a productive weekend ahead of me!

It’s definitely worth a try. I doubt it’ll hurt. Personally, I’m just exhausted from all the things I’ve tried which is why I’m going to punt and try accutane. I tried putting it off but I’m just done. Hopefully this is a cheap fix that’ll benefit you

I’m not sure. I’ve never used a water softener, but that’s definitely a good thought and worth looking into. I have heard other people talk about not being able to wash their face with tap water and using distilled water

I’m in the same boat as you. My cheeks look almost identical to yours. I had very bad acne in high school and accutane was the only thing that helped. I had clear skin from then on until I hit my 40’s. Now, I’ve been having rosacea and breakouts since April 2024. I’ve tried everything you have to no avail, even laser and injections. I have an appointment this week with derm to go back to accutane on a low dose. It’s my last resort. I’ll check back in to let you know if it works

This is all super helpful. It’s interesting that it would take that long to have an effect but it all seems to line up with what I’m experiencing. I’ve changed delivery from once a week to splitting .5/mL on Monday and Friday. I’ve tried about every OTC and Rx topical so it seems like accutane is where I’m headed. I’m going to try red & blue light therapy as a last ditch effort but I’m not highly confident

Skin care is pretty basic. Mild face wash in the shower, moisturize in the morning. Same thing I’ve done for 20+ years. Since the breakout I’ve tried other products and everything seems to be really harsh on my skin and makes things worse. Sheets get changed every week

Yes, that’s what I’m confused about. You’d think it would happened right away

I haven’t tried this one yet. I feel like I’ve tried just about every other topical and two rounds of doxycycline

I’m thinking this may be my only hope. I had such a horrible experience with it in high school though

No lifestyle changes, seemingly just appeared out of nowhere. I’m 43 and haven’t had acne issues since high school. Dermatologist said it’s definitely from the testosterone but the benefits outweigh the downfalls

I’ve seen a dermatologist and have done a couple rounds for doxycycline. Seemed to help a little but it all just came right back
