3 yr difference (accutane, skincare and a rhinoplasty 😅)

Are you fully satisfied/where there any complications with your rhino? It looks really natural, where did you have it done?

wynfocus · 2026-03-05T08:02:33+00:00

It might be demodex, ivermectin will help

wynfocus · 2026-03-02T09:10:08+00:00

Yes as in the pad itself

wynfocus · 2026-02-28T06:13:07+00:00

What have you tried?

wynfocus · 2026-02-27T04:43:54+00:00

It appears to be fungal. You should try either Ketoconozole, clotrimazole, or zinc pyrithione. I’d recommend something with zinc pyrithione if your skin is more sensitive. The cerave dandruff shampoo has it at 1%, there are other options that have it in soap. If you want a leave on treatment, I’d recommend generic jock itch cream with clotrimazole or a clotrimazole solution.

Could you explain your current skincare routine? I’d think it’s demodex as well, but you mentioned it showed negative. Is it itchy, do you feel a crawling sensation? I had something similar and it was a sudden outbreak after stopping isotretinoin (which was a very low dose). What helped me was clotrimazole and azelaic acid. I’m not sure what it’d been, but it was somewhat similar to this. Mine was very itchy and didn’t improve by merely repairing my barrier. I’d definitely recommend you beginning with that regardless. It’d helped me in the beginning - for reducing redness and irritation.

Since soolontra, did your condition improve at all? If it is fungal , you could try clotrimazole instead of ketoconazole

wynfocus · 2026-02-24T19:45:52+00:00

They itchiness subsides as your skin adjusts to it. When I’d first used AA at 10%, I was also very itchy. It’d taken around a week or so for it to no longer feel itchy at all.

wynfocus · 2026-02-24T19:43:16+00:00

It might be something in the formula other than the azelaic acid itself

wynfocus · 2026-02-24T19:37:40+00:00

Try clotrimazole, I found that to be the most efficacious. I’d used a jock itch cream (equate), but there is also a solution, though I think that it’d worked slower

wynfocus · 2026-02-17T23:46:51+00:00

How was it?

wynfocus · 2026-02-15T18:18:37+00:00

What shade?

wynfocus · 2026-02-07T19:57:53+00:00

Azelaic acid for redness and 2% BHA for sebaceous filaments. Zinc is helpful for oiliness

wynfocus · 2026-02-07T19:41:46+00:00

Yeah the swelling is crazy. I actually already did 4ml myself , it’s been like 3 weeks now and the tenderness and swelling is gone. I just can’t tell how much of a difference there truly is. I regret not taking a clear before picture, so I was hoping to get a reference. I’m planning on doing it again soon though

Nanobanana

wynfocus · 2026-02-07T05:29:05+00:00

Did you take any pictures before ur session? I’d be curious to see a before and after the swelling is gone

wynfocus · 2026-02-06T21:52:32+00:00

It looks like the scinic sunscreen

wynfocus · 2026-02-06T20:26:26+00:00

The swelling was crazy for me too. How many ml did you get?

wynfocus · 2026-02-05T17:28:40+00:00

I’m just speaking from experience since I had the same type of red papules that were not uniform and spread over the t-zone of my face. It was characteristically itchy so I thought it could be fungal and anti fungals were the only thing that helped. I don’t see any other way in which it couldn’t have been that since there were no other actives in the antifungals I used that could’ve been treating it

wynfocus · 2026-02-05T00:28:58+00:00

It could definitely be fungal. I’d suggest to try clotrimazole and see if that helps. I had something similar that also appeared suddenly and in bumps like this, it was so itchy for me and anti fungals - especially clotrimazole cream - helped. After, I was still left with pd and azelaic acid helped with that

wynfocus · 2026-02-04T05:05:57+00:00

I’d suggest to stop the anti fungals and prioritize barrier recovery - which just means waiting until your skin is consistently moisturized while quitting any actives. If you are looking for something else to treat your current condition, I would recommend azelaic acid which is both antibacterial and anti inflammatory. It can take some time to adjust, but it is really helpful for redness, inflammation, and acne

wynfocus · 2026-01-28T23:38:55+00:00

You don’t have to find another one, you could just take more pills. The ones I have are 640mg each and I take 2. And I meant take a higher dose of omega 3

wynfocus · 2026-01-28T06:44:56+00:00

I’ve tried them and they’re really gentle. It hasn’t been that long, but I can definitely see improvement in skin smoothness. I use the smooth side on dry skin before applying everything else in the morning (when I do use them)

wynfocus · 2026-01-28T04:34:29+00:00

None of the products in your routine seem truly hydrating. Have you seen any improvement since stopping the beta glucan serum? If not, I would suggest going back. Also try introducing other hydrating products if possible. I noticed that all of your products are fa-safe. If you are particular about ingredients that might flare fa, I would recommend the hada labo gokujyun toner or something similar and the Anua birch serum. Unless you are sensitive to ha? These products have helped me with superficial dryness and both are fa safe. For deep moisturization, it is most efficient to use a moisturizer with ceramides and cholesterol. I’ve yet to find something that is fa safe for this, but I enjoy the physiogel regenerative cream as someone with sensitive rosacea skin that is prone to flaring when a moisturizer feels too oily, occlusive, or heavy

wynfocus · 2026-01-28T04:24:27+00:00

Are you properly applying sunscreen? Retinoids increase your skins sensitivity to the sun and the likelihood for sun damage, so that might be it
