Hi everyone! I shared this on r/skincareaddiction and got a lot of positive feedback, so I wanted to repost it here in case it helps anyone else. Like every human, I have sebaceous filaments but mine were more noticeable than “normal.” I also have some blackheads… after my ex made me self-consci

Hi everyone! I’m 28M. Like every human, I have sebaceous filaments but mine were more noticeable than “normal.” I also have some blackheads… after my ex made me self-conscious about it I dug deep into the hole and geeked out researching what I can actually do.                        

Acne progress: Nov 23rd vs today. Just last week, I had a breakout and was upset that it "wasn't working." But that's why we look back! It is! Routine: AM - Benzoyl peroxide wash (Panoxyl) - Glycolic acid (alternate days) (Ordinary) - Azalelic acid (Ordinary) - Moisturizer (Soon Jung) - SPF (Supergo

The question of how to get rid of post-acne dark spots has been coming up a lot lately, so it seemed like the perfect topic for a Teach It Tuesday. I suffer from this myself, so I did a little bit of digging into the subject. **First, some terminology** This post will focus on post-inflammatory hype

Okay, most of us have probably heard that the data picture for Differin/Adapalene as an anti-aging retinoid is pretty limited right now, especially vs. tretinoin. (Although recent data seem promising!) I’ve heard some derms recommend it for anti-aging and some not. While it is “the gold standard”, t

From what I understand, adapalene is used for acne maintenance, so are tazorac and the like. But retinols OTC are used for anti-aging. Aren't they essentially in the same class though? Has there been any head to head trial between any of them for a certain indication? (I have not been able to found

Hi there I’m a 18 y/o female. The other day I used nair cream on my face and I forgot that I use an acne medication called Adapalene and benzoyl peroxide which makes my skin super sensitive so when I put the nair cream on it burned my skin and it was very painful. The nair cream was on for about 6-

I posted about this last night. I didn't get any responses with helpful information, so I'm reposting the relevant info I gave then below. Since I made my first post, I've lost **ALL HEARING** in my right ear. I'm sorry if this isn't kosher, I'm just so afraid and frustrated and helpless. I'm a whi

Hey all! 11 YO female, 5 ft, 91 pounds. No preexisting health conditions. You may remember me from a month ago. My daughter was the one with severe head and eye pain and super high fevers that were hard to break. Someone told me, in the middle of the night, to take her to the ER. I got flamed becaus

***Update 9/20*** All of his pending tests were negative, the last one we were waiting for was Rocky Mountain spotted fever and it too, was negative. We did follow up labs today though and his WBC dropped in half. At its peak it was 20.5 and now it’s 10.4, well within the limits of normal. The only

Just got done with a bizarre encounter with a patient and since we’ve had issues with this patient in the past, I’m actually wondering if she’s making the whole thing up. Apparently, her doctor specifically told her to **ignore any recommendations or advice from the pharmacist that works at this sp

Hospital pharmacist here, just here to vent as I found this incredibly frustrating and even scary. I was working from home today when my wife had a tele-health visit with her PCP. She’s pending Covid results and often suffers from sinusitis. She’s also allergic to penicillin (true allergy- anaphylax

Sorry for computer screen pixels 😞

What was I thinking?! I’m panicking bc I knew better. I was getting ready to give a COVID vaccine and the pt casually mentions he’s got double pneumonia…. I was like what? I asked did the MD clear him for vaccines and did he have a fever. He said yes then no, in that order and insisted on getting it
