Beauty Tips For Body Care
TL;DR: basically just curious if anyone has felt this way and if I’m wasting my money by not just trying things on my own.Curious if anyone has experienced this or if I’m just being paranoid. Novel ahead, I’m really sorry. It’s just a lot that’s been weighing on my mind.About a year ago I switched from regular birth control pills to the Mirena which was the worst decision of my entire life. Broke out in horrible hormonal acne both small pimples and huge cyclic spots. The acne has made roller coaster improvements and declines and I’m still going along the ride.However, I don’t feel like I can trust any dermatologist anymore. I’ve been to three different offices so far and at each I’ve been prescribed different things and I’ve finally settled at this one location. I go in every two weeks and they steam and scrape my skin (don’t know the right phrase here, they just pop everything on my face. It’s basically just a really painful facial) and recommend new products or higher dosages of current ones and I go about my way. I’m also on the most strict and ridiculous meal plan that is super hard to follow but I try my best (no dairy, no female meat, no bread, nothing with any trace of iodine like most salts and some veggies, few fruits, etc.).Over the two week period before I go in again, my skin looks amazing and feels smooth for about 4 days then all hell breaks loose. I know it’s typical for my skin to dry out and react to new products or the higher doses, but it burns and itches and the moisturizers they have me use have very little effect but I can’t use anything other than what they prescribe which is all their brand. Before I go in again, I feel like my skin is back to how it was last session.I tell them my issues and their only response is that their routines have never failed, and I’m just doing something wrong or not drinking enough water (but honestly I’m at a point where if I drink anymore I might as well wear a diaper so I don’t need to get up to piss every 10 minutes). It doesn’t feel like they genuinely care about my skin and the unique problems with it (the fact that it’s literally entirely hormonal from the damn Mirena) and it’s cost me nearly $1000 for the 3 months I’ve been going ($100-150 per trip back not including needing to buy their ridiculously expensive products if need be).Again, I’m just curious if I’m being dramatic or inpatient & if anyone has felt this before. My acne has gotten better in terms of small bumps everywhere, but I’m tomato red 24/7, dry as all hell, and I’ve got constant painful cysts that come up now more than every before.
