POV: your skin is throwing a tantrum and you’re out of ideas. For three years, my face has been a red flag of doom—bumps, redness, and that “I’ve been crying in my sleep” glow. My fam all has clear skin, so I’m like, what’s my deal? I’ve tried antifungals, steroids, calming balms, and even azaelic acid, but my skin just. Sighs. It’s like I’m stuck in a never-ending skincare horror movie.
So I did what any sane person would do: I went cold turkey. No antifungals, no heavy products—just lukewarm water and vaseline. One week later, my forehead is inflamed like I got into a fight with a hot pan, my cheeks are puffy and red, and my skin feels like it’s been through a wringer. I’m 21, I eat low salt and high potassium, and my skin looks like it’s 40. My GP said it’s seborrheic dermatitis, but the treatment? Zero effect. I’m basically a walking skincare meme.
The worst part? It’s wrecking my confidence. I used to be that girl with the “I’ve got this” glow, now I’m scrolling through my photos and questioning if I’m aging before my time. My skin’s got this weird crepeyness, lines on my forehead, and scars that don’t make sense. It’s like my face is rebelling against everything I’ve done.
Key points: My skin’s been a drama queen for three years, tried everything from antifungals to steroids, and still no luck. My GP’s diagnosis? Seborrheic dermatitis, but it’s not working. My skin looks older than me, and it’s crushing my confidence.
