My goodness you poor thing 🫂
thank you guys!! this SUCKS but the support is what keeps me going
proud of you chickie, for continuing to advocate for yourself. and so glad you have a new working diagnosis
Yeah I agree with you, going through this is so incredibly tough, but you putting your journey out there is going to help so many other people struggling with similar challenges. Good on you!
I agree, super strong and tough of you to put yourself out there. Its gonna send ripples.... The good kind.
I'm just a dude who isn't part of this community and has been "following" your struggle through the posts that hit r/all... and I never thought I'd care this much about some stranger's skin-care problems but by god I hope this new treatment helps and the next update is that it's starting to work because every time there's an update that it got worse, it's made me want to cry.
Me too! God, I want healing for this lovely girl!!
Bless your heart ❤️ empathy never goes out of style
Jocelynn, hang in there, things will get better. You are so brave to put this out, it shows us how much strength you have. Trust me you have helped so many people going through a similar conditons. Keep us posted on your progress.
You’ve got this G skillet 🍳 keep crushing through life like the bad ass you are!
I'm so glad that you FINALLY have an answer that makes sense! Hopefully that means you'll be more comfortable soon!
Thank you for keeping us updated. Rooting for you
Maybe vitamin D since you’re not going outside at the moment. Good luck and great fighting spirit!
I’ve been following your posts from the very beginning and really rooting for you!! I really hope you recover fast and everything clears up! ❤️
I’m so glad you finally have an accurate diagnosis! Hoping you recover soon! We are all rooting for you!
You've so got this!!! I had an allergic reaction on my face so bad that when I went to pick up my script, the pharmacists were literally (and not quietly) talking about how I looked.
It took everything not to cry there in that Walgreens.
My heart is with you, this will pass!! Hoping the pain goes down quick and wishing you a quick recovery 💕💕💕
Absolutely worth a phone call to report them to headquarters. No one ever should feel any type of judgement picking up a prescription. 🙏🏼
I wanna hug you! I’m so happy you got answers and you’re on the path to healing, physically and emotionally. Praying for it to clear quicker than expected and for the pain to subside. 🙏🏼
I have followed your posts every step of the way, doll! You are in my prayers on the daily.
You can do this! (And I am truly sorry it has been so difficult. If I could afford to send you to a tropical beach for a month you’d already have tickets).
Gentle hugs.
Can you afford one week instead of one month?
You’ve been through sooo much! I remember following you in November when I thought you had staph on your face - I’m so sorry the Mupirocin made it worse. You deserve relief ASAP! Are you taking any painkillers?
no bc of the accutane. thank you sm
I'm a little old and sorry for the question but does sm stand for "so much"?..I hope you recover soon and wish you the best. When I was younger and had these type of problems, I would wash my face with water( make sure hands are clean) and would make sure not to mess with my face, trying my best to not touch my face at all. It did not fix it all the way but I surely saw a minor difference.
Of course check with your doctor- but I would take zinc, vitamin D, and biotin to assist your body and skin in healing.
will these help my gut?
I can’t imagine how much that must hurt 🤍 How you’re not just constantly in tears is beyond me, you’re brave. Even though your skin is angry and feeling on fire at the moment, don’t forget how beautiful you are! Wishing you an absolutely massive positive turn around!! 🫶
Oh My Buddha🕉
And on your face! I’ll keep you in my Buddhist prayers.
I can’t message you so piggybacking the top comment! Created this account to offer help. I’m a licensed cosmetologist, DM me if you want!
That’s awesome of you! I’m so glad that this beautiful girl has so many people in her corner. I remember vividly how painful and isolating this can be.
I’m so sorry girl, I’ve been in that situation with cysts extremely similar to yours and they were so painful. I washed my face one time when I had a huge breakout and I accidentally tapped one spot too hard. Thought I was gonna blackout it was so painful.
Once you get done with this new regime, micro needling and mederma really helped with my scarring!!!
Sending you all the light, love and healing vibes!!
Mederma is great for the scarring! I’m sure once you’re healed, your dermatologist will have a lot of good options for scar reduction as well. It sounds like you have a wonderful doctor.
All of the hugs! Hope everything heals soon... 🫂
Those who are new atleast write on pic which is recent/ old .
It helps better than reading whole.
Rooting for you! ❤️🫂
I grew up with a woman just like you. She is stunning and has been for a long time. Hang in there, it’s just a weird time in life but a blip in the radar in the grand scheme
Sorry I know this is has probably been suggested long ago but have you tried honey already?
don’t apologize!!! and no
Honey is both anti bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Get some local honey if you can and spread it over the affected areas. It will drip and make a mess, but just set time aside to lie down and wear it like a mask for however long you can manage than gently wash it off. It may not cure you of course but it's super low impact and relatively in expensive.
Also icing the tissue, either with masks or frozen towels etc for when things flair up. Again I assume that's come up already.
Hello, I just wanted to share that my Son struggled very much and in an accidental way we found out that he had a deep sinus infection. The Doctor treated it with a strong dose of antibiotics/penicillin and it cleared his face up. I wish you all the best.
You finally have answers and someone who is working to help you heal. It WILL heal! This will be a past thing some day soon!!
I’ve been following your story and it’s unbelievable! You have so much courage and tenacity! And of course it’s terrible and it’s been too long waiting for the proper diagnosis, but you’ve got it. It’ll get better from here, I really believe that! ❤️
Mom hugs!
Had a wild fight with acne back in my teens, idk what you have going on specifically, but keep it up! It'll get better as long as you keep at it and treat it properly. You'll do great 😃
Had this when I was younger but the dry skin version. I know how it feels when people looking at you in public, it can be brutal! I grew out of it through puberty and hope with enough time it will clear up for you. Hang in there and greetings from Sweden.
I highly recommend using vanicream as a moisturizer. It is very emollient, has few ingredients, and is fairly cheap. My daughter is on round 2 of Accutane, and it is the only thing that has helped how dry her skin gets. For sunscreen, go with something zinc oxide based. You can get a tinted one so there isn't a white cast. Also, take a zinc supplement. It is very beneficial for your skin!
Stay hopeful and cry it out. I’m internally crying for you. I hope this clears away asap. Monitor your mental health and take days to spoil yourself.
Have you tried tazarotene?
Proud that you found the correct treatment. Trust that scarring will fade. Godstrength!
You got this, Queen !
🫂🩵
Are you on any birth control?? I'm so sorry, I've been rooting for you!!
This might be the most useless comment of all time
Useless, condescending and uneducated 🤣🙅♀️
Whistle twice, but only with the left eye closed. First thing in the morning, pour a cup of 5% vinegar and mashed strawberries, and then toss it over your shoulder while making aggressive eye contact with a pigeon. Stay away from sparrows and analog clocks!
Bahahhahhahhahahahahahahahahhahahahhjahajha ahhhhhhhhhhhh
I’m so sorry but this made me audibly lol
God, Reddit people are so different. 😆🤩 Great answer.
Chocolate? You think this is caused by CHOCOLATE? SMH, FFS
Hey, hush.
Right? 🙏 Rooting for you to get better OP!
Omg I thought this too!! I also knew immediately from that second photo that it was an allergic reaction.
Hey OP, I’m wishing the best for you! I’ve taken that same prednisone regimen for my lungs before and inflammation of my body. It’s totally normal to feel kind of shit the days you start your taper down. And then when you stopped it completely. It’s really important to stick to the prescribed schedule exactly to minimize side effects and just know that it’s helping you and any blah feelings won’t last forever!
I wish you the best and I hope you’re not in pain any more 🤍🤍🤍
It really is. I haven’t asthma an and had a really bad flare up last summer. The longer dosing period really helps. As a bonus it gave my knees and knuckles a chance to heal and even now they’re still felling better to some degree. I felt free as a bird coming down steps without one twinge of pain. On the downside my herniated disks with spurs pushed into my spinal cord when I was winding down the dosage and I had a hard time walking and lifting my arms again, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as previous times. All that just to breathe, but once again I was all better. The trade off was worth it.
It will make you super hungry too 😊
Oh yeah- keep healthy and filling things around. Soup is good, veggies and fruit too!
Literally just said in my head “you poor thing”. So glad they found an answer!
Op I hope you know EVERY SINGLE ONE of those upvotes is us agreeing with this comment and sending you love and huge hugs
Oh honey! I had cystic acne and I know it’s extremely painful. I couldn’t make eye contact with people because on top of the physical pain, there was shame/emotional pain. I admire you so much for having the courage to share your experience, and I’m glad to have the opportunity to follow your journey and offer support!
Everything will get better. Sending good vibes and love!
I thought the emoji was a camera 😭
