Beauty Tips For Body Care
I’ve had a rough summer, hormonally. I had a golfball sized ovarian cyst rupture, which triggered a bunch of hormonal changes. I needed to have my IUD removed and get put back on the pill. To say my face freaked out is an understatement.Over the last few months, I’ve started developing these cysts on my chin, jawline, and cheeks that just will not go away. After being reduced to tears over it multiple times, my SO gently suggested I see a dermatologist if I was so bothered by it. Of course, the problem with that is....it takes about 40 years to see a dermatologist.I poked around online to see what i could find, and got the usual recs for curology. I’d used it in the past with success, but this acne wasn’t responding to anything topical. I’ve been getting monthly facials and the esthetician hasn’t been able to perform extractions on these cysts because they’re so hard and so deep.Finally, I found DermatologistOnCall through Walgreens. The sign up process was really simple, and it was only $59, even though they didn’t take my insurance. I uploaded pictures of my face and described my situation, answering questions about recent health issues, what I’ve done in the past for acne, etc.I received a response from a dermatologist 40 minutes north of where I live about 45 minutes after submitting my appointment request. I was already asleep, so I answered his questions this morning, and went to my yoga class. When I came out, he diagnosed me with hormonal acne and prescribed spirolactone to treat it. I was able to pick up the prescription at my local pharmacy an hour later.Took my first dose about an hour ago, so we’ll see how it goes, but this was so easy and painless that I thought I’d recommend it to others!
