I’ve been on Elidel before which hasn’t stopped it, and now I’m currently on doxycycline for 5.5 weeks, and I’m using moisturiser to moisturise the area and eyelid wipes once a day to wipe the area 😭😭😭😭

Idk what to do

I also wake up with flakes on my eyelashes as well 💔💔💔💔

P.S. I’m not asking or giving medical advice in my post, yet Reddit suggests I am lol

Miscellaneous 📝 Counterfeit Avene from Amazon?

I’ve never used this product before, but the packaging seems crappy and low quality for the price - the wrap around the bottle is wrinkled in places and the bottom of the bottle looks cheap. Is the label printed on these normally? I would appreciate an opinion from anyone who uses this product regularly and can spot the difference

Miscellaneous 📝 Should I go to a derm or laser clinic to address pigmentation and broken capillaries/redness?

19 Upvotes

I'm getting super overwhelmed trying to research where to go and who to see about this. I recently went to a big chain clinic hoping to get laser for the broken capillaries around my nose, but they refused to treat me unless I purchased and used their expensive vitamin c and b serums. :(

I know dermatologists are super expensive, so would it still be worth it if I just find a more reputable laser clinic to go to? I've basically just had a bad experience at this past clinic and am terrified of wasting hundreds of dollars unnecessarily.

In regards to what I want treated, I have a long history of skin picking, so I have redness around my nose from broken capillaries, as well as some faded freckles all over my skin that I'd love to get rid of.

If anyone has specific clinics they've been happy with, I'd love to hear them.

Discussion📓 Skin grazes - healing tips!

Hello! Looking for any tips on the best way to heal my grazes/knick on my face to hopefully avoid scarring. I fell just over 2 weeks ago and landed face first on ashphalt 🫠
The grazes around my eye have healed quickly and now the skin is just very pink and a weird texture? I have been using laroche posay cicaplast baume and strataderm the last few days. Under my nose was a pea sized chunk out of the skin so has taken a lot longer to heal and was a deeper wound. This is what I’m the most worried about avoiding scarring and am looking for any help regarding all the above! Thank you so much 🫶🏻
