Pics taken with iPhone, so not the best quality
Also I was wondering what this redness around my nose and around my forehead/ in b/w my eyebrows is
it's sort of rough/bumpy
The pics don't capture it that well
It looks more rash like than acne
Have had it for quite a long time and it varies in redness
depending on like the temperature foods I've eaten, time of day,
sunscreen seems to somewhat mask it
My nose is always kind of swollen and the pores are largish
is this some type of dermatitis?
Plain acne
Or could it be the beginning of rosacea? Which my dad has although its a mild case
I had fraxel laser about 2 months ago hoping to fade the scars, seemed to have faded by like 20%
I'm looking into the dermaroller
Things I use right now
Clindamycin phosphate gel - dermatologist have me said it would be god for redness
Epiduo- ( Ben perox + adapalene) been holding off on it since laser
Neutrogena- men's sunscreen
Trader joe's antioxidant moisturizer
Had been taking doxycycline hcl 200 mg as well throughout the year but stopped b/c antibiotics aren't good for u I guess
Just started apple cider vinegar- drinking and applying
I also have been using a little of shiseido's liquid foundation SPF 42 on my nose, masks the pores and redness very well
but I really want to get this under control
It seems like I don't really have acne anymore
regarding the scars
Most are just red marks
one area on my left cheek is indented/pitted
The dermaroller got good reviews but is it ok for just red marks?
Thanks a lot !
The redness dies down a bit after I take showers also and put on lotion
even though I end on cold for my showers
