^^Well right now I'm trying not to touch my face at all but it's not easy.   I put the benzoyl treatment on problem areas, then moisturizer on those areas.   I use both a curcumin/aloe pro...

Is he semi-reitred from videos & etc.?

Yeah I tried therapy it's fine, it is expensive and not very effective on what's considered BDD related which I'm not sure it is.

I've given up a while ago. I've had relations before but I can't imagine having those now. Too many problems. Can't even keep plans due to skin issues "popping" up.   I thinks it is really brav...

Due to my skin issues I'm long overdue a haircut. This happens a lot.   I had also wanted to visit family in Europe but cannot. I can't even string a 3 good days together.   I haven't see...

^^Ah, okay, yeah I'm not sure the AHA did anything I will use it now and again as you suggest. Thanks.

Just shaved and i have just applied AHA to a new ingrown bump I see forming. Really hoping it is improved by tomorrow morning. I will post an update. Thanks for the infos. I've noticed the same thin...

No, but have the top of the line Braun (non-Cooltech) Series 7 790cc. It is very good for a thick, strong beard but not so good for a thinner beard.

No,I don't but am wondering if I am pressing too hard, I try not too. Also the curve at bottom of chin is tricky. Do you ever shave against the grain?

A few weeks ago I went from the generic Gallant Trac II plus handle to the Bump Fighter handle and it is much better. The extra weight of the handle makes shaving easier. I still get ingrown hairs w...

^^Ah okay. I meant in a section a bunch of flaking can seem like it removes a layer in that section. But yeah it's not like the peeling I get with a sun burn.   I've stopped the moisturizer. It ...

^^Interesting to hear about CereVe. Perhaps I'll try it. Glad to hear at least your redness is gone even though your flakeyness continues. Is it like layer of skin peeling or just a small flakes thes...

I don't expect the regimen to fix all my problems but I've decided to go forward with it. I've just finished 2 weeks and sections of my face look like a small nuclear bomb has exploded in these areas...

I find moisturizer will clog up pores around the nose and lips on sensitive types. Jojoba might be a better choice for those areas.

I use the Panasonic ES-LT71s. I also have the top of the line Braun. The Panasonic is the most gentle I found but I still have problems shaving. I'm just super sensitive.

I wanted to update this thread. I had some improvement through non-invasive treatment but I am still dented. Still have a dent(s) that gets even worse when I smile and that area does't look smooth. I...

Happened to me too but I knew better. The derm asked me if i wanted to Cortisone and I said I was afraid of fatty atrophy. I had read about it, I had read about everything. He then said if there's an...

I have a permanent dent from two cotrisone injections into a pimple. The injections were over two years ago. It kills me every time I look in the mirror because I knew better. I told the doctor I was ...

I know the original post is old b ut I just wanted to follow up. I am currently trying Hibiclens and I hope I have the success the OP is having.

Someone recommended Vitamin k cream but I haven't tried it yet.

Approaching 5 months since two deep cortisone shots dented my face. They are still there and have not improved on their own. I recently started some treatments that have helped a little and I'm trust...

Congrats Willzy! That's great news. Accutane has been pretty much a cure for many people with acne. I was on it myself. I had similar side effects as you but another that was more scary. I stopped wh...

I don't have acne. I have folliculitis and I get ingrown hairs and am dealing with cortisone dents. In the past I've been on many diets including raw. The only supplement I take now is vitamin C in...

Thanks for sharing John. It's good to know someone totally understands. I'm doing the same thing. Just trying to do a good job at work and hiding in my cave until things get better.

Just heard a great quote. To paraphrase "there's no such thing as side effects, there are only effects." Calling them "side effects" is an attempt to trivialize potential dangers.
