anyone with any luck?

@FriskyCreek your comment on a psychiatrist says everything I need to know about you. IPL is the only recommendation my dermatologist has made. I've seen maybe 6 dermatologists about this redness and ...

This photo was taken a while ago and I've posted it on this board before.  The redness is still there and its been 4 years.  @Kid Charlemagne, tell me again how thankful I shou...

I visited my dermatologist yesterday and got an IPL laser, now its even more red -- I cant even relate to anyone on these forums, everyone else has something pop up and go away in a couple of weeks/...

Thank you for the reply MiraculousTea. You're right, it is PIE. PIE is just not talked about much on the internet. I've never heard of taking digestive enzymes for this. I'll also add that I think it...

Jeez thanks.

I really need all of your help. I am at the edge of my wits and am mentally in a very bad spot. Please help me. 3 years ago now I had an acne black head that inflamed into a huge cyst (we are talki...

An update for future readers:   It's been exactly 4 weeks since the sunburn and all of the redness has ALMOST gone away. My face is just an even shade of light-pink; no blotchy spots anymore. I...

Update: the spot literally scabbed up. Then the scab fell off (on its own). And now the spot is a light pink and has been like this for roughly 2 days.   So I'm not sure if its PIH that will la...

Stay out of the sun and go see whoever got rid of that boil in the first place or whatever you did to fade it   Well honestly that mark took a little over a year to fade, and took a couple IPL...

Hey everyone so last weekend (6 days ago) I went outside for about 3 hours by a lake and got sunburnt bad. My arms and legs and face got the worst of it. My face actually peeled twice (which I believe...

Haven't been using any products on the spot specifically, just my usual low-maintenance routine. The spot has continued to reduce in size and the "bump" is pretty much gone. Slight redness (PIH) remai...

I guess I'll keep updating this so anyone who reads this post knows what happened. I think acne.org would be a much better resource if the OP always updated their post and eventually explained how and...

I called the derm's office in the morning and talked to my derm's assistant who told me that I should wait longer for another injection and that the schedule is full anyways. She put me down for the w...

Is the cyst actually still swollen, or is it just the "material" left in there? I never had much luck with ice, but that's not to say it won't work. That's just my personal experience. When I've ha...

I've had many cortisone shots. I have great luck with them. I rarely have a problem. Once in awhile I will get what you have, remnants of the cyst. If its not swollen I would leave it alone, event...

Try a bag of ice and apply for 5 minute intervals with 10 minute breaks in between. Ibuprofen helps as well Thanks for the reply, ice will definitely help reduce any leftover inflammation. Have you ...

The doc gave me a bp mixture during my visit. Should I put this on it?

Hey everyone, I had a cortisone shot on Tuesday (And today is Sunday so its been 5 days) and the swelling has gone down but, if I stretch my face, I can still see a slight bump where the cyst was. I'm...

  Hey everyone, I could really use your help.   I'm a senior in college and have never used anything on my face (I just let water run down my face in the shower). I'm fortunate to not have...

Thanks for the reply Tesla, non-comedogenic is a must for sure.

Bump?

Hey everyone, I could really use your help. I'm a senior in college and have never used anything on my face (I just let water run down my face in the shower). I'm fortunate to not have that much acne,...

Hey everyone, I could really use your help.   I'm a senior in college and have never used anything on my face (I just let water run down my face in the shower). I'm fortunate to not have that m...

Update: It's sunday, which is one week after it appeared and also one week after the night I, unsuccessfully, tried to pop it. It is scabbing up and the inflammation continues to go down. I haven't to...
