Is this PD?
A couple months ago I started waking up with these small clustered pustules around my mouth and on my forehead in between my brows. They pop easily, don’t itch, and are surface level. They also pop up by the end of the day when I’m taking my makeup off.
I noticed them after I switched to a richer moisturizer. About a month ago then I switched to a lighter moisturizer I had on hand (tatcha water cream) which also has fragrance so this week I switched the Vanicream daily moisturizer. I have been on tretinoin %0.025 for over a year now and my skin has been under control until this.
I went to the dermatologist this week and after telling the nurse my skin concerns (I told them I was getting white heads popping up, I didn’t know what PD was) and the dermatologist prescribed me Cabtreo gel without examining my skin at all. I’m hesitant to start Cabtreo because of all the actives and the fact that she didn’t examine my skin, and that I called them white heads.
Any suggestions or advice? TYSM
