  I had a lot of flakiness accompanying the PF at one point, and tried the toothbrush again .... but my skin is too sensitive for it now, probably because of the Accutane.

Lion Queen and Willow, I am a pretty new member, but have been on this site for weeks now - just absorbing all this info and both of you have some great things to share so thanks! I am 37 and suffer...

  ^^^ I have to run, so I will have to look at your post in depth later. One quick question, though: Have you tried changing your toothpaste? Some people have ugly reactions in the chin and mouth...

Thanks so much for posting this info, TC. I really hope you're okay and that your liver recovers from this setback (the body can do wonderful things when it comes to healing itself).   I had bee...

Willow,   Does Mandelic acid exfoliate the skin? Do you need to use something like a BHA in conjuction with mandelic acid?   Mandelic does exfoliate - both on the surface of the skin an...

  just thought I'd update .....   I had to stop using Nizoral on my face; it was far too drying and irritating. I am still shampooing with it 2-3x weekly, but I'm not letting the suds get on...

So, I just ordered the 2% of of Amazon (thanx for the tip), how often were you using it when you first got it and how long did you keep it on your skin? I used it twice a day to start with, and I le...

  Wynne is correct. The bullying rule was written and posted last week, before the chat incident. Dan's thread came a few days after the rule was actually posted, but had been planned since last ...

  Still getting the odd itchy bump here and there, but no widespread outbreaks.   Still using the Nizoral 2% shampoo to cleanse .... have learned the hard way not to leave it on my face for...

I am re-opening the thread and will be invis'ing a bunch of the off-topic posts and bickering.   Please, let's get back on topic and stay there. The mods are currently discussing the chat problem...

  That sounds like closed comedones to me ... have you tried using a topical retinoid?   The bumps I'm talking about do stick out from the skin. They are small and hard, but they don't have ...

  After a week of using Nizoral on my face, the red itchy bumps have entirely dried up and flaked off .... my skin is looking really good now.   Now the question is, will the bumps come back...

Where'd you order the ZNP bar from?   I wouldn't mind having something to alternate with the Nizoral.     EDIT: never mind, I see it's available on Amazon.com as well ....

I found a place to order propylene glycol online: The Chemistry Store Looks like it's fairly safe ... if you buy "non-toxic antifreeze" this is basically what you are buying (as opposed to ethyl...

Well, I think I have this crap as well.   It started as just a few itchy red bumps along my hairline, and I thought they were bug bites .... but now they are spreading across my forehead and che...

Seems like my face rbeaks out a week BEFORE my period

I think Aleve is only bad if you take it every day! Other than that, it's a pretty normal painkiller.

My acne seems hormonal but it is quite severe so I break out pretty much all month long...between menstruation and ovulation my hormones are always screwing up my skin. do you think it would be safe t...

There is nothing sexier than a woman who believes she is sexy - no matter how she looks

I think it's unbelievably annoying when people say they want implants to feel more "feminine" or "sexy" or look "better" & that it has nothing to do with society/media/whatever.

    I find it unbelievably annoying when people go on anti-cosmetic surgery rants. Seems a very simple issue to me: if you don't approve of breast implants, by all means don't get them. But ...

I had a breast lift after I finished breastfeeding my second child .... really didn't care for the deflated balloon look. I got small implants as part of the procedure, to give my breasts more fu...
