Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Will try to make this quick. People hav been suggesting I discontinue photoderm cuz of my weird skin probs recently (some of which began happening after I started Photoderm) I'm conflicted about stopping because I only have 3 treatments left, and it has seemed to help my rosacea problem. The nurse toldme in the beginning to expect a 70-75% improvement, and today she told me I'm right on target if I continue treatments. However If Photoderm IS going to possibly cause all these new problems for me to deal with forever then Its NOT worth it to me to continue (NOT EVEN CLOSE). When I asked the nurse today she told me she wasnt sure if Photoderm could aggrevate other skin conditions. She said that if Photoderm was aggrevating/causing these new problems, that she was relatively confident that within 6 weeks after my last treatment, they would go away. (She said the photoderm might be causing an inflammatory response, but if that was the problem it was only temporary). If this is true, then its worth it to me to continue (can deal with 3 more months of this crap to be cea-free) I don't know what my skin probs are. I did have an ANA antibody test done last month, which came back negative, ruling out the positibility of at least a few diseases like Lupus. I have no idea whether to stop treatments or not.. I see both pros and cons. I know no one on this board is a doctor, but you all often have really good insight. Any suggestions as to whether or not any skin conditions being caused by Photoderm are only going to be temporary? (since Lupus has been ruled out as a possibility).
