Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have had a very, very long skincare journey. I've been seeing a derm since I was fifteen (I'm now almost 30) and have had severe acne for most of that time. I've done pretty much any treatment you could think of. Accutane, antibiotics, retinoids, sprinolactone, in fact I took doxycycline for five years for acne. A year ago I decided to visit this subreddit and take matters into my own hands because I didn't feel like my derm was helping me at all. My doxy was $130 a month, likely destroying the environment of my colon and I STILL had bad acne. After many many months of trying products, strictly keeping a routine and ending birth control, I started to see a huge change in my skin and my self esteem went up tenfold. Not only was my acne clearing up, but my rosacea drastically improved as well.So imagine how shitty I felt when I went in today for my annual PAP smear and the first thing out of my doctor's mouth is, "what are you doing about your acne?" Seriously? I tell her I've seen a derm for ten years, taken accutane and all kinds of things and I'm very happy with my skin now, just have a few zits because I'm ovulating. Then she says, "have you tried zinc? That'll clear you right up". Are you fucking kidding me? If that isn't the biggest "just wash your face" I've ever heard then I'll eat my hat.I could almost understand if I had been seeing a dermatologist and they brought it up, maybe. But have some fucking tact and mind your own business. For reference, this is my skin today. I have like two zits. This isn't the first time I've had a doctor do this to me, either. Every time I start feeling good about my skin, someone knocks me back down again. I'm at the point where I wish my doctors would bitch at me about my weight instead of my skin. Ugh.
