I’m currently 17 and I’ve had acne/perioral dermatitis since I was 13, and NOTHING has ever worked. My skin is still ugly, awful, and covered in redness, dry flakes and zits. I have tried every cleanser, spot treatment, topical and oral cream, antibiotics, 3 different birth controls, accutane, treatments, masks and nothing has helped one bit. Now my parents are done trying to fix it so I can’t do anything professionally about it anymore. And my skin literally hates everything that supposedly works, it just makes it worse. Idk what to do because I can’t help professional help (not that it was helpful before) and I hate my skin and appearance more than anything ever. Everyone in my life has clear skin. Mine is ugly and awful and makes me want to die

maybe try just doing a really simple routine. cleanser, toner, moisturizer. i would recommend cetaphil face wash or cerave but you have youthful skin i think you should start with something simple
Replyalso maybe vaniscream will help
ReplyFind something like a lotion or cream with the ingredient colloidal oatmeal. It helps the redness I do know that much as I've used one that had it. A dermatologist should have other options prescription creams perhaps. Unless you've saw one already. Don't lose hope. I've had a form of dermatitis that made me feel the same as you not wanting to go out in public I was ashamed of how i looked.
