ITS GONE!!! it only took 1 product!
hi guys!! a little context, i had my first ever experience with pd for about 2 months, and finally resolved it a couple weeks ago. it wasn’t a horrible case, just the visible rash at the base of my nose, though it had begun to spread down my smiles lines as well. i tried 4 different products; 3 were prescribed to me (topicals) and 1 was boudreaux’s baby butt paste (which worked for 2 days, but the rash came back soon after). nothing worked, incredibly frustrating.
OKAY. here’s what did it. the entire time i’ve been using vanicream gentle cleanser and daily facial moisturizer, which i’ve been doing for a long time and is the only combo that keeps my skin clear. i continued using that combination twice a day, AND THEN, once a day i began using base laboratories hypochlorous acid spray($12 on amazon) recommended to me by my sister. at night before bed id just wash/moisturize like normal, let my face dry, and spray a coating of the hypochlorous acid onto my fingers before rubbing it onto the rash and heading to sleep.
within 3 days it had completed receded… its now been about 2 weeks and it hasn’t returned! it’s irritating how simple it turned out to be for my case… i had begun losing faith. i know that everyone’s skin is different, and that this may not be the route for everybody, but if you’re really struggling and nothing seems to be working, id recommend giving it a shot as it worked for me! :)
