PTAA from what i know you shouldn't needle whilst on accutane since it could affect the healing process Jwebs91 I'm about to do dermastamping with my derm next week but from what i read the f...

@beautifulambition i feel you're the only one who understood about my skin better even than the derms I've met. mostly they don't want to admit their skincare does not work on me and keep shoving m...

@beautifulambition i've looked around for dermatologist who could do manual dermastamping for me. surprisingly most of my local derms only use dermapen now. so i find this 1 derm that is still will...

I completely agree with @beautifulambition. Be very careful with any type of treatment even if they're labeled as non invasive or non ablative as our body could work differently to heal in different p...

In my opinion, it could be both since ones i have on my cheek had 1 inflamed acne nearby which seems to affect the nearby area (or it could be from enlarged/ clogged pores that don't get inflamed but ...

@beautifulambition Nyacinamide products i've tried so far did not produce the result i'd like. i also have tried several retinoid forms and this last one, in the form of retinaldehyde, prescribed b...

@beautifulambition with my PIE, could I say if there're still redness after the acne flattened, the area is still in the repairing/regeneration mode? and it would be the better time to do treatment...

@beautifulambition The treatments that i consider doing is manual dermastamping with PRP or perhaps taking something like Nimegen, milder form of roaccutane. Should peeling help too? So far my s...

i have what a dermatologist called "superficial icepick scars" that comes out of nowhere. the doc told me icepick scar in superficial form is hard to treat as TCA Cross doesn't work on them. but that'...

i have acne scars in texture and discoloration forms. i'm in great dilemma as for the depressed texture, i understand i'd need something like laser but on the other hand i have stubborn discoloration ...

be careful when using sudocrem or aquaphor on acne or clogged skin. test a small and thin amount firsthand. i got 2 very inflamed acnes that were only whiteheads due to aquaphor (read it on reddit tha...

@beautifulambition What is the characteristic of pebblestone scarring? My bumps flatten when I smile or stretch the skin. Does it have to come from acne? Mine appeared after too strong of topi...

hi shadecraze, how are the bumps doing? do you eventually have any kind of treatment on them? i also have those bumps from using too harsh of retinol in my case. i also wonder the derms that i've b...

@beautifulambition I read your response above "...Some at home try a microneedling device to stamp them first, doing light peels, and occlude them with a liquid silicone" I do plan to do microne...

i could relate to Ammeo's "warning" in regards to syringe use in TCA Cross procedure. However, Dr. Lim does not at all suggest explicitly that TCA Cross could be done at home with a syringe. Furthermo...

Hi Justdry thanks so much for responding. i might re-think of doing oral isotret since the side effect might do more harm than the SH. i did cautery and CO2 laser in the past but it's not satisfact...

Hi abraxas21 thanks so much for responding. May I know how big is your Sebacious Hyperplasia lesions prior to oral isotret? i might re-think of doing oral isotret since the side effect might do...

anyone ever find success in treating their SH with oral isotret? I find some articles that even with lower dose, it'd clear up the SH with rare occurence in future

@abraxas21 how's your Sebacious Hyperplasia doing with the oral isotret? are they totally gone?

@Marie528 how is the progress with the Accutane. I too suspect my bump is SH. shaving by cautery or laser is not that effective IMO. i've done it in the past and there're so many rooms for human error...

wow thanks for sharing. good for you! unfortunately my SH comes from retinol itself. it burns my skin and afterwards creating the bumpy textures. afterwards, I use a milder form , the retinaldehyde bu...
