Has anyone's brain fog and short memory issues caused by a long secondary MCAS flare ever resolve fully without taking anything, just by eliminating all triggers?

Has anyone gained fat while being on NO medication (Cromolyn and H1/H2 give paradoxical reactions) and eating very little?

Or is it just water weight? I gained a TON of water weight after taking literally only 1 100mg dose of sodium Cromolyn 2 weeks ago that never went away. Blood work showed that my potassium had absolutely dropped from 4.5 to 3 (likely due to the fact that my body was already primed to lose it by the 800mg of Predisone I took the previous month), do you think that might be the reason why I cannot for the life of me lose that generalized body edema?

My multiple doctor's (2 allergologists and a gastroenterologist) don't even think that what I got after a severe allergic reaction to isotretinoin 8 weeks ago is actually MCAS due to the insane worsening reactions that I'm getting to any of the medications, but they also said that generalized body edema (I gained 4 kg in 3 days) is surely not a symptom of MCAS. I am perfectly healthy otherwise, no other diseases! Please share your own experience, thank you!

Barrier repair serum with no niacimide or HA (any form) or butters?

Hi,

I have a super dedtroyed skin barrier after being wrongly prescribed Nizoral 2%, and I am in dire need of barrier repair. Every balm or cream has broken me out terribly as well as caused extreme irritation due to the heat we have here. Therefore I am looking for a serum, but it cannot contain any HA in any form of niacimide, and preferably fungal acne safe.

Is this sebderm or perioral dermatitis!

Hi, the flaking appeared and then kept getting worse after adding mosturizer. Nizoral 2% cream Completely destroyed my skin barrier. One dermatologist said sebderm and the 2 online ones said perioral dermatitis and prescrive ELIDEL 1%, but the scaling keeps getting worse and worse! ​

Skin destroyed after 1 application of Nizoral 2% and water + sensitive cleanser

I have been stuck in the worst flare of my life after putting Nizoral 2% cream on my mechanically irritated seb derm skin. I have rosscea type 1 (first time gotten it 3 months ago) and until 48 hours ago my barrier was healthy and I had almost no redness at all. It's been 48 hours and I can absolutely not touch water with my skin, and Avène toleriane nuit burns like hell. What to do? It's getting worse by the day. ​​

First week with Sebderm

Hi,

I have extremely sensitive skin and have developed Rosacea 3 months ago, which caused a state of permanent inflammation that destroyed my skin barrier. I couldn't sleep due to stress for 2 weeks and putting aloe Vera ​on my skin has caused seborroic dermatitis on my face, that worsened horribly when not sleeping and that now for the first day ​ever has moved to my scalp. Do you still believe it's at a point that if I were to manage to fix my skin barrier (the rosscea is mostly reactive rosacea to the constant irritation caused by the destroyed skin barrier) and sleep it is likely the seb derm will calm down and not return until retriggered (another week of bad sleep and stress)? I am terrified I now have it forever also on my scalp. ​

My dermatologist is pushing a ton for isotretinoid but I am scared as I also have dry eyes and in general before the sebderm my skin was very dry. ​

Hi,

I would like to start using red light on everything that isn't my face, most specifically the belly and legs as I am on a weight loss journey. I would also like the light to go on the neck to remove extremely early signs of age, but that's secondary.

Is it better to buy a panel (id be covering my face completely when using it) or one of those blankets? Or wrap around masks for my belly (I'd also use it on my thighs)? If I buy one for face and neck, can I just use that for aiding spot body recomposition? I don't want to lose butt and breast fat.

Just for calming rosacea inflammation and reduce redness (no wrinkles), they both appear to have the ability of turning off NIR, but Inia has higher irradiation.

Which one would you buy? Has one helped you?

Hi,

Please link here any mask that has helped you 1. Calm down an active flare 2. Reduce the number of flares 3. Reduce redness.

I wanted to buy a Silkn 100 leds because I like the rosscea results in the testimonials but I keep hearing it's trash, so I'd love to have some guidance from whom has already purchased the winning horse.

Hello,

I would like to purchase a mask, as I have very sensitive and broken barrier due to a a rosscea type 1 flare that standard solutions did not manage to calm.

I would like to start with yellow leds without NIR just for the initial phase of calming it down, and then use standard red to make the flushing disappear completely and work better on bettering the underlying redness + hyperpignebration from the stressed skin.

I am in general afraid of using NIR (as I don't need it for any anti-aging properties, just redness control and removal, and I'm scared of the facial fat loss), so I'm specifically looking for good quality masks that either don't have it or allow to keep it as an option.

I care deeply about the quality of the irradiance.

Which should I buy? At the moment I only found the Equinox and Silkn, but the latter has insane irradiance ranges (80+ units of difference). At the same time, the cheaper the better - any recommendations for rosscea are welcome!

Hi, now that Hongg ASVZ has closed for a while, which other ASVZ gym has the plank/setup for blue bridges? I didn't see one in Irchel but it was crowded so maybe I'm wrong. ​
