Just Call Me OCD

You guys are fantastic. You're giving me hope right now. Thank you! I may look into the krill oil! Sounds like a great idea. And I'll definitely continue the yogurt.

I've been on and off Minocycline (up to 200 mg at one point) since early 2014 after I went off Yaz and all hell broke loose. I restarted Yaz in early 2015, added Spironolactone 50 mg, and weaned off ...

I've been on Prednisone for 2 days (60 mg on day 1, 50 mg on day 2, nothing today on day 3) due to a fractured pelvis and sciatica. I've also been on 100 mg of Tramadol for those reasons. I usually ...

Amen! All of the season changes mess with my skin! I get comfortable in a season and then a breakout hits when the weather changes!   Again, thank you. No doubt I'll be on here again in crisis ...

Hey! Aw, you're so sweet to check in. The scab is almost gone. Just a big red splotch is left. Not surprising. My skin is so fair that I probably won't ever get rid of the redness, but at least i...

I knew it. Washing my face was devastating. The skin is peeling in the area an inch around the scab. I am also peeling severely all over my chin, but I'm still breaking out. I feel hormonal zits formi...

You truly understand what I'm going through. My OCD and anxiety are at an all-time high. I got spoiled by clear skin for a few months and only had to cover up a couple of fading pink marks every day...

I'm also scared now. I went to wash my face, and the raised, wrinkled skin around the area lifted off, so I used tweezers to gently remove it. I might have removed a tiny portion of the scab in the ...

Thank you for responding, ShadyLee! Seriously. I am so thankful that someone finally responded.   The major swelling from the procedure has gone down, but it's like the scab has increased in s...

Nobody can offer any support or advice?   Today, the skin all around the area is red and wrinkled. The center is still a greenish crater. The diameter of the wound seems to have increased. I ...

I don't know if anyone still follows this topic, but it's worth a shot. I got a slightly inflamed milium extracted today in my smile line, and I'm left with a bright red, dime-sized, raised area that...

Please, someone. Please. This is going to take about a month to heal, and I will be left with a horrible red mark. I already have really bad red marks elsewhere. I do not know how to cope with thi...

Can anyone help me?   I know I can't use Retin-A tonight, or it'll make this area worse.   Should I use Biafine? Hydrocortisone? Polysporin? The dermatologist recommended Vaseline, but ...

About 2 hours ago, I went to the dermatologist. She told me my cysts were on their way out (after a month), but she could inject one if I wanted. However, there was a good chance of atrophy. I decline...

I have had 2 blind pimples for 3 weeks now. I started taking Minocycline (100 to 200 milligrams) again once they appeared, and I thought they were getting better. However, the one on my chin has got...

I'm back on 200 milligrams Minocycline. The one beside my mouth was so close to leaving. Then it refilled. It's bright red and bulbous again. It hurts. I think the one on my chin is leaving slowly. I'...

I kid you not. These jerks are still lurking. It has been THREE weeks. When I saw the dermatologist last week, she said they looked like they were on their way out, and she didn't want to give me c...

I see the dermatologist tomorrow, and I'm dreading going in there without makeup. I look grotesque. I reduced the Minocycline to 150 milligrams three days ago and have used 100 milligrams yesterday ...

I'm at a loss here. They're bigger and more painful today. It feels like the one on my chin is spreading to the other side of my chin. I've been on 200 milligrams of Minocycline for a few days now,...

I feel like they aren't getting better. The soonest I could schedule a dermatology appointment is in a week.

Ugh! They're bigger and redder today.

Thanks, Father Smulnik. You made me smile. (That takes a lot these days!)

I feel very, very low. I'm out of town, so cortisone shots aren't an option. Even if/when these lumps go away, the redness will linger for a year or so. That's what my skin does. I hate my face today....

I'm not picking, but I don't know how these are going to leave on their own. My mouth and chin are throbbing. I hate antibiotics, but I guess I'll keep taking them for the next few days...

When it rains, it pours. In addition to the nose one, smile line one, and chin one (all blind, of course)...   Stuff happening between my brows now. Another blind one beside my mouth. Stuff h...
