My pores are very large and are always clogged. I have bad discoloration on my chin and cheeks from acne scars. I'm 21 and have noticed since 16 that my skin just keeps getting worse and the pores on my cheeks have significantly enlarged. I've never gotten a professional treatment done and was considering IPL but was not sure if that's the correct route to go. I've tried many prescribed medication such as doxycycline pills, retinol cream, tretinoin cream and tretinoin gel.
Also, does this help with the papules and pustules. Is IPL for Rosacea suitable for Indian Skin. (I lie between Fitzpatrick 3-4). Also, does this help with the papules and pustules. I am currently on doxycycline but it does not seem to affect much.
I was currently diagnosed with moderate Rosacea & I can't seem to get a smooth forehead. I am using finacea gel & going to start doxycycline. My dr mentioned IPL & I was wondering if this would smooth out my skin & get rid of the bumpy forehead? I have a consult for Botox but wondering if all I need is IPL laser. Any feedback is appreciated. I also attached photos below. Thank you
I used a Nood at home IPL device that claimed to be safe for hair removal including Brazilian. I used it weekly for a month, then noticed severe irritation on my labia. I went to urgent care and was given Bacitran ointment and doxycycline. Saw my gyno 3 days later. he told me my skin looked normal and to stop doxy. Its been 2 months and my skin still looks normal but feels like it is burning and irritated almost all the time. Could there be permanent damage even though no one can see it?
