Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Two nights ago I was thinking of posting a message letting you all know how well I thought Photoderm was working for me, and recommending any people considering it should give it a try. My skin looked great except for this little rash of red bumps around my mouth that had recently appeared. I rarely flushed, barely looked red, and even the swelling had gone down! My skin had looked consistantly good for almost 2 weeks too, it wasnt even one of those 1 or 2 days of goodluck... I was even thinking of strollin' down to where an ex-g/f of mine works so she could see how good I looked. (I try not to be shallow when I can help it, but she broke up with me a while back when I first developed cea, cuz she didn't find me attractive enough anymore - Ya, thats what she said) Now the redness is back full force! The flushing is back and then some.. The rash of little red bumps around my mouth has become Horribly noticable! I have a similar rash on my forehead and around my hairline too!(temples, sideburns, nothing on the back of my neck or anything). The Swelling is back 110% as well. And I can't even sleep it off or anything because I am swamped with HW and finals for the next two days. AHH this problem is SO frustrating... I really had to vent.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 How many Photoderm treatments have you had already? Have you tried Accutane? I am doing Photoderm right now -- just had my 1st treatment with Dr. Zenda -Lat in NJ 3 days ago. At this point, I can't say it has helped me at all, but I am holding judgement at least until my 5th treatment. Perhaps you need more treatments, after all there is no magic number. Accutane did me some good a long time ago, I might get back on a low-dose course after I am through with the pulsed-light therapy.
