Hello all!
I've been on the regimen for about 4 weeks now. Ive been slowly increasing my dosage and my skin isn't currently burning or anything. I only apply bp to my forehead, cheeks and chin. I have never once applied bp to my nose as I figured the skin is close to my eyes and I've never had a pimple there. Not only have I rebroken out in nodules and whiteheads (up until this past week my skin had been cleared by the regimen) despite not really changing what im doing regimen wise, my nose is irritated. The bridge has tiny rough red splotches that at most look like very small inflamed pores? Does anyone know what could cause irritation in the only area not treated? I follow the regimen exactly so I'm having trouble knowing if I should take a break, increase dosage, introduce my tretinoin back in that I was using at the beginning (originally was using tretinoin every 3rd day for the first two weeks then removed it from fear of irritation)? Any advice on how to proceed would be great! Thanks
Can you share a pic?
Next, add in AHA at this point since it's been 4 weeks.
And as far as the nose stuff, a lot of time people will apply BP somewhere on their face and then put moisturizer over it and boom, when you put moisturizer over it and move the moisturizer around, it brings the BP with it, so maybe you did that and got BP on your nose area.
As far as the breaking out part, that's not necessaily normal at 4 weeks. Usually that's more of a 2 week thing. Questions on that: 1) Are you female? If so, that time of month? 2) Anything physically irritating your skin in that area?
