Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi guys, hopefully I’m posting this correctly?I have had acne for 28 years, and have wrestled with Angular Cheilitis (painful, persistent cracks at the corners of my mouth) off and on for three. After endless googling, I finally broke down and bought Monistat to treat the mouth cracks.My skin overreacts to Everything. I’m careful about toothpaste, lipstick, apples, avocado. Everything that comes near my mouth can cause a rash, or cracks in my lips.With trepidation, I put the Monistat on the cracks on the corners of my mouth. I had a washcloth ready in case it burned and signaled a reaction. It didn’t, and even seemed a bit soothing.On a whim, and under the theory of “can’t hurt, might help...” I put the Monistat on the bumpy, closed comedone field on my forehead. I crossed my fingers and went to bed.In the morning, I raced to the mirror to see the results. The cracks were 80% better, and the persistent bumps on my forehead were nearly gone. What. The. What?!?I’ve been putting Monistat on the cracks three or four times a day for a few days, and can laugh without pain. I can smile and talk and eat and smile, all without cracking the skin or ripping open the scales that form.And my forehead? Smoother than it has been in years. Literally years. I’ve spent hours in the mirror trying to get the bumps out (I know, I know. I’m on the compulsive skin pickers sub as well...).I’ve been treating acne aggressively for 28 years. I’m 40 now, and have spent a bajillion dollars on dermatologists, lotions and potions. I’ve joked about sacrificing a goat to appease the Acne Gods, promised to never pick if that would fix it, sworn to heaven above that I’ll never swear again if this would just go away.And now? Armed with knowledge from this sub and the phrase “fungal acne”, I bought a $7.99 tube of Monistat. I put that sh*t on everything and now...Could this actually be working?!?I’m guardedly optimistic, and nearly in tears. Could I have clear skin (except for the pigmentation and redness) for the first time in 28 years? Could I go to the grocery store without foundation? Can I leave the house without layers of product to cover my horrible skin?Fingers crossed, guys. This could be a game changer. I am eternally grateful for this sub.
