I hate to bring all my skin issues here...but I just went to the derm today, and I didnt get to talk about everything I wanted to (I should have held my ground more...) and I just trust everyone's opinion so much. So here goes...
#1: I have been using Neutrogena Body Clear Body wash for several years for minor back/chest acne and also in hopes to help out with my KP. It hasn't been very effective. Today I got a Rx for an oral antibiotic for the acne (Solodyn), plus 2 Rxs for the KP (One steroid cream for 2 weeks, followed by some type of lotion, but I cant read the Rx). Also, on my own I have started using 2% Salicylic acid pads on my KP just to see if it would work and it got somewhat better. My question is- do you think I should continue to use the body wash, or should I trust that the other products will work more effectively, and finally use a diff body wash I would prefer?
#2: In the last month or so my lips have started peeling. They arent chapped exactly, but its equally painful and I dont know what to do. Either I have obviously peeling skin on my lips (eww) or I have to try to get it off by exfoliating or (gross/ouch I know....) tearing it off. No chapstick/lip balm has worked yet. Any advice?
#3: I got a Rx for differin (yay!) today and my derm told me to use a really basic cleanser, which is fine, but I need help finding a better night time moisturizer. Right now I use MaryKay Timewise for Oily Skin, which feels nice going on, but I don't think is that great. Any suggestions for a basic night time moisturizer, preferably with antioxidants, for oily skin?
Thanks so much!
