Anyone heard of such a thing? Had one? Know anyone who's had one? It's been squeezed and never has it fully drained no matter how much attention it gets. Corticosteroids; didn't work. Retinol; Nope. Benzoil Peroxide; Still here afte over 20y. And on and on and on, figuratively and literally!

So if you have any experience with this and have been successful at treatments, I would love to know your voodoo magic! Please and thank you in advance ...

I am a Asian Indian female, 44, weigh 127 at 5’2”, with light tan skin.

I started off with 2x daily 20 mg Accutane (40 mg a day) but requested to reduce to 30 mg 1x a day after the first month after nose bleeds in 40 mg a day. I have been on 30 mg for 3 months and am totally fine with moderate dry lips and flaking skin - the PA is saying she is worried about hyper pigmentation, which makes zero sense, my skin is shedding and looks uneven - she wants me on 20 mg now after only 3 months and what I would consider well adjusted on 30mg and I think she’s very ill informed on how the medication works, when I asked her if Accutane causes skin turn over, her response was “no, it just stops oil glads from secreting oil”, further she advised me to take Nutrofol while I was in Accutane for my hair thinning - I was skeptical and noted it had a high dose of vitamin A. What would a derm PA normally do with a patient like me please?

For the last few months I’ve had rashes on my groin - waking up scratching around groin and pubes. I have Behcets, and doc has just prescribed me trimovate.

My questions:

1. Anyone have experience using it?
2. Any natural remedies / anything less intense I could try first? (I don’t like taking steroids)

Thanks

M31, 5'9", 130 lbs, had this thing appear two days ago. Doesn't itch or hurt. Blood comes out if pushed. Not deep at all, seems like just outer layer of the skin oesn't seem to heal yet. Had always had bad skin, acne, dandruff, dry skin etc. Photo in comments. Pretty scary tbh never had anything like it on the face for sure. Smoker, don't drink, plant based diet. No known medical conditions. Vitamin D defficiency, everything else is good. Thanks

I am 41. Moved from TX to Fl. Seems it got disgusting recently. Lost a job and it is all on my butt. clobetasol helps but lost a job last week and it looked fine and the next day it was terrible. It’s all on my butt, glute. Both. Any help?

It's on the back of my thigh

On my inner left thigh, had it since birth not sure what it could be, maybe cafe au lait?

What is it and how to treat it.

The skin is almost folded on itself. I can pull it back and get lotion into the creases

I have somewhat oily skin and am extremely acne-prone. My moisturiser doesn’t break me out but when I always have moisturiser on 24/7 I feel like my skin gets pimples. Sometimes I feel like when I moisturise at night, then again in the morning, I always wake up with small pimples or bumps. However, when I don’t moisturise at night, people say that it’s bad to not moisturise at night even if you have oily skin. So I am just asking if I should moisturise at night, only in the morning, or both?

Also, this is a completely seperate question, but does mixing sea salt water and pure distilled water at the correct ratio equal to ocean salt water? As ocean water clears skin. I feel that it gives the same affects when I do it but I’m not sure if it’s just placebo affect or it actually is working.

Thank you!

Hey,

i got prescribed systemic medicine for tinea capitis and can‘t deal with the side effects.

Is it possible to cure tinea capitis without oral medicine? How are people treated who can‘t take the medication for whatever reason?

Thank you so much in advance!

Derm told me to use it twice a day on the patches I have on my arm. Monday-Friday and then do not use at all over the weekends. So 5 days on 2 days off until it clears OR until May 30th when I go back for a follow up. Reading about Topical Steroid Withdrawal/Addiction online is freaking me out that this is overkill with a huge chance of giving me TSW. How worried should I be about this?

out of the blue i always get these pumps that are so itchy and if i scratched it, usually it worsen and become red, but if i leave it alone it will disappear within few minutes and will leave no scars, i thought it might be an allergeic reaction to something but it also happen to me while just sitting doing nothing, it can happen during day or night, and it usually pops when there is a change in surrounding air/ weather

I’ve sharpened the image and gone in the worst lighting i could find, it doesn’t actually look this bad. TLDR I think i damaged my skin barrier and exacerbated an underlying issue, thought im unsure what it is. I have these bumps all over my back and shoulders, when is scratch at them a little white solid bead comes out usually attached to a hair follicle. sometimes there’s also some pus/sebum idk. i used to only have them on my shoulders but after doing no moisturiser, nizoral everyday then a whole bunch of exfoliating they started occurring on my back as well. I thought i had fungal acne but guess not :/ My routine right now is simply using dermexa by aveeno on my back and shoulders and nothing else. I’ve been using SA cleanser by cerave up until today but it seems to only be making things worse. I tend to have skin that gets dry really easily, it’s never been oily.

I’m at a loss tbh, they came out of nowhere on my shoulders which had been previously perfectly clear.

i’m a daily kratom user and i just got prescribed doxycycline for my acne. i read there is a metabolic inhibition when the two are combined. if i space out my kratom and doxycycline dose by 2 hours, will i still receive full medicinal benefit???

and before anyone tells me to stop taking kratom: yes. i know it’s bad for you. i am an addict and kratom has been a recovery tool for me. i am off of harder substances that were causing me harm thanks to kratom. so yes i could stop taking kratom. but it would be very mentally challenging for me. i rely on kratom to deal with paws (post acute withdrawal syndrome.)
