Hi, just desired to say thanks for creating this site. It’s crazy how many similarities your story has to my own, and I suspect many other people’s. Looking back I recognise I was duped by loads of the incorrect information latest online – no matter if it was merchandise with false claims or me mistakenly using those which have been just not meant to regard my true skin situations. 2 classes of Accutane eventually solved my acne troubles, however the PIE was another story I was bowled over to listen to the term wasn’t coined until like 2013, I hope now it makes things easier for people dealing with what we did.
Several pulsed dye laser cures were the one ‘cure’ for the PIE though, it was unusually cussed, I suspect me destructive my skin barrier during my lowest point when coping with acne could have had something to do with it…thinking back now it’s insane, I used to step out of the shower and within seconds of my face drying it'd become dry and flake all over, little did I know at the time how much repair and curative my skin needed. Thank you for answering questions about our skin issues. You have proven a degree I have noted in my own health problems: medical doctors don't seem to be as positive as we think them to be, or as we are hoping them to be. A number of them have said: don’t do your individual analysis into a medical problem. When I last saw a physical therapist, she and her assistant laughed when I told them I Googled to discover a solution to a health problem. “Very bad,” they both said.
Well, my research gave me the reply they were not able to give me. I consider you: only you can help your self. With intelligence and endurance search online, that you can find solutions and insight that may also help one with a health problem. I admire your mind-set to testing so many treatments on yourself. you are basically an intelligent particular person, doubtless with some kind of scientific historical past. I have an identical heritage–something I’ve conception about my skin is constantly bad emotions, always wishing I had: clear/spotless/even toned/more tanned/less burnt/less wrinkled/less scarred, etc…blah blah blah…skin.
until lately my dermatologist told me that I had: papulopustular ROSACEA!it was as if I had cursed myself into some thing to rue for real. so bravo to you for doing the hard work. I Botox myself I’m an MD, I do the research, I refuse to take antibotics although my derm swears they’re “sub antimicrobial”. and also you and your site just blew me away!thank you. OMG.
Wish I found you 55 years ago. I am now a 72 yr old female. My skin complications have RUINED my life and self confidence. I was a model. That went south. But the absolute worse are the sebaceous hyperplasias.
Have had laser. Electrocauterization. Accutane. So many time and again. And for last 6 years i have under the skin white bumps that infrequently i can squeeze out white filmy sebum. Derm wants to do CO2 laser.
Can not do that again. I cry on daily basis and beg God to take me. My husband died. Men more youthful than I ask me out but i hate myself and my scarring and white bumps. Any suggestions for hyperplasias.
God Bless your kindnessOk, so I ought to ask. I see a curology bottle in your pile, why did you stop using it?I started curology a bit over a year ago and it worked fantastically until, like an asshole, I determined to avoid wasting $20 a month cuz I was clear. Well needless to say, it all came back. I’m currently on differin 0. 1% in my 11th week and went back on my curology prescription 8% azaelic acid, 1% clindamycin, 0. 25% zinc pyrithione Differin has mostly wreaked havoc for me but I see the light at the tip and am seeking to give it the entire 3 months.
But, I find being capable of chat with the dermatologist on curology to be very constructive, what did you not like about it?I too have dissimilar skin issues, hormonal inflammatory acne on occasion cystic, malassezia sp?, PIH/PIE and KPThank you for responding back!I hope you do a post on SD/fungal acne soon as a result of it influences so many folks and they aren’t even aware of it and are using the incorrect merchandise. In your opinion, what are the additives that I should avoid when I acquire products for SD/fungal acne?I bear in mind I tried SK II when I didn’t know that I had SD as a result of I heard how attractive it is and it absolutely annoyed my skin due to Pitera yeast in it. You are so knowledgable and have it all down to the technology so I hope you don’t mind me asking so many questions. I seriously stopped using all of the crap my dermatologist gave me and have been slowly incorporating the products that you just mentioned and my skin is slowly clearing up. So THANK YOU in your exertions and dedication on this site!At this point I don’t fully imagine my skin damage will ever heal up totally and I’m scuffling with the depression quite hard.
I have red scars all over the place and I keep getting more each time I have a flare up or react to some thing and it kind of feels like i’m just looking at my skin go to pot before my eyes!recently Vaseline or all bloody things!It truly is a humbling event, and just learning better coping tools has helped me to not lose the throttle and cause more flare ups from stress!Looks/ good skin really aren't what is essential in life…but i feel not feeling like a “freak” who is stared at really makes a difference in quality of life!You wouldn’t imagine how much happier I can be if I skilled the bonus of putting my skin issues in remission…or even just seeing a big advantage!I are becoming a bit of a shy and obsessive compulsive recluse…. but your articles have given me some hope and I need that hope man!I never are looking to become suicidal ever again like in the past. I feel like we may be similar in personality and its been very empowering to sponge up your plethora of potential as I am still slightly new to this. I too know only too well this bad feeling of feeling completely downtrodden and shit about myself due to how bad my face is I suffer with bad hormonal acne. I have only just today obtained azaeliac cream from the ordinary and applied it thrice today and the change already to my skin is little short of a bloody miracle. I don’t know if you have tried it yet but I would completely give it a shot.
I really hope and pray you discover something that basically helps you and makes you're feeling brilliant about your self just try to hang on in there it is a long long road I know only too well I have been vacationing myself for 26 years but confidently the sunshine is near xxHello!Stumbling on your blog has been a happy occurrence. Because of your precise accounts about your skin complications, some things clicked in my head as to why I have had a particular set of issues in my middle years after decades of no issues. I never knew that yeasts could inflame my skin as well as my scalp. I wondered why I even built a bad case of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, as a result of it didn’t run in my family, and I was quite conscious of having clean bed linens and a healthful lifestyle/diet. It all boiled down to an easy fact: A former lover had worked in a lab, doing experiments on….
yeast!We had lived together for many years, and being the quite guy he is, he would drop on the bed and go to sleep…in his uniform, which, in retrospect, was encrusted with yeast tradition spills. It was especially aggressive strain they were operating on to speed up fermentation tactics for soy sauce. DUH!It wasn’t until I took a trip to Korea 3 years ago that my issues started to take a turn for the higher. I tried a few Korean skincare items, adding a shampoo and conditioner with oriental Hanbang herbs. A TCM clinic I visited for the fun of it waved me to a neighboring hair salon, whom slapped an enchanting mash of herbs and oils into my scalp for 30 minutes with scalp therapeutic massage and introduced a stern lecture to use the shampoo and rinse they gave me until it cleared…which it did, in three weeks.
I then idea the Asian way might actually help my reddened, crusted, micro pustule skin, and started to try things , after a facial at a well-known spa in Seoul. I have had a LOT of improvement with the double cleanse method and a consistent hobbies, without an excessive amount of drama. A green tea seed cleansing oil, or a camellia seed cleansing based oil, ricewater bright foaming cleaner, then Sulwhasoo balancing H20, 1st care serum, and emulsion. , with sheet masks enriched with diet C, propolis, or bamboo water. I also used a gommage peel gel 1x month, and Sulwhasoo’s ginseng cream in winter.
So…you made it all fit together for me!My issues went back in time to the initial yeast publicity, and was exacerbated by the WRONG cleansers and skincare creams. Like you, I had almost given up hope that my visage could be simply clean and clear find it irresistible was once. My skin has recovered and that self critical dialogue in my head has abated. I basically feel a peaceful relief in spite of everything these years of mental angst rage melancholy of knowing people looked at me and made terrible assumptions, as a result of of my face. A date even assumed I have been ingesting already and wrote me off as alcoholic!Sayonara, |vita omega plus .
I will be altering out my foaming cleaner for an extremely low Ph foam cleaner, try the Laneige water drowsing pack for a summer moisturizer and adding the Benton snail bee serum, along with the COSRX BHA/Clay mask/Oil cleanse activities to clear the rest of my now minor issues away. By the way…damn, you’re beautiful. ; See ya. I just desired to leave a comment to can help you understand how much I respect all your posts – they're beyond positive and the ideal amount of scientific rationalization for my English major brain to have in mind!Having handled acne for the last 16 years, a short stint with pityrosporum follicultis last summer, and now a seriously compromised moisture barrier top it all off, your blog has renewed my motivation and hope that I can sooner or later have skin decent enough to leave my house with out spending an hour making use of makeup. Also – I find myself laughing out loud all around your posts, so thanks for lightening up a commonly depressing topic!Finally whatever that is smart!I actually have some hope!Thank you for putting quite a bit into this!So a few months ago, from my own research, I found out that I have Pityrosporum Folliculitis and/or which I discovered today is also called Malassezia Folliculitis. I have been dealing with it for the past year ha likely since puberty when I think about it But it's been getting gradually worse in the last 6 months.
I’m 26 years old, I have mixture type skin, I almost never wear makeup, I eat healthy 80% of the time, I’m pretty active, and the only pill I take is a probiotic. I started using Nizoral Shampoo on my body and face for the past couple weeks and it seems to be getting worsewhich I notice isn’t enough time to see results. I read your article on Malassezia which was great But I am just considering if you had a selected regimen for coping with this?There was so many options for items I don’t know where to begin. Also I know you had discussed the Oral Ketoconazole was not endorsed but the other alternatives I would want a prescription for. Could I use a Natural supplement like Bee Propolis Extract or Grapeseed Extract etc.
and get similar outcomes?And I’ve been in this regime pretty invariably. It took a couple of month and a half and my skin was starting to look better. Not great but better. And every little thing was on the bright side. But now… it may in reality be worse then it was first of all. But I do not think it's the Malassezia acting up.
I have bright red acne shopping sores with barely any puss in them. But they hurt to touch and are very profound. And they scab up if I pick at them. On my forehead, cheeks, chin, chest, shoulders, and back. After awhile they do stop hurting and go away.
I cannot determine what variety of skin condition I have now. I think I’m just going to go to a derm, I just don’t want them to inform me some thing I already should know and check out to perscribe something I really don’t need.
