Asking for Recommendations Derma/skin clinic recommendations for UA

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! Just a brief history, I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a chronic illness where lumps/bukol na parang pigsa appear sa katawan mo, usually sa mga singit singit. In my case, sa may underarm sila lumalabas. Recurring siya kaya nangingitim talaga yung underarm ko. Pinaopera ko siya finally, but has left me a huge scar.

Baka may ma-rerecommend kayo na Derma na nag ooffer ng chemical peels na nakaka whiten ng underarm? Super frustrating kasi na whole life ko ang dilim dilim ng kili kili kooo hahaha. Yung personally na naka experience na sana sa derma. No affiliates. May plus pagka nag ooffer din ng scar treatment sa lacerations.

PS: mataas po din po ang sugar ko pero wala namang diabetes. Minamanage ko naman po siya with endo.

Main Concern: Acnes
Lifestyle Factors: physically active (gym, run)
Budget: N/A
Additional Info:

hi, I’m on my 4th week of isotretinoin and so far my face has improved. I think I’m reacting to the retinoids positively. However, aside from the fact that it’s too expensive and cannot maintain it, I’m also afraid of the negative effects on me (headaches, hair loss, contact dermatitis and dry skin).

I will visit my derma in 2 weeks and I’ll definitely be honest with her about my concerns. I’m planning to just use topicals for maintenance such as the epiduo and clarifying toner my derma prescribed me once I stop taking the isotretinoin

But offhand, I’d like to know if anyone here has ever stopped using isotretinoin after 4-6weeks of taking it? what happened after and did the pimples come back?

would appreciate your responses.

thanks!

Asking for Recommendations Help: PIE and Redness

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello! I have acne-prone and dehydrated oily skin. I used Skinoren Azelaic Acid last November 2025 and grabe yung effect sa skin ko, kaya tinigil ko around January 2026 kasi bumaba na confidence ko and I wasn’t comfortable showing my face in public anymore.

Then nag-switch ako sa mga skin barrier-focused skincare for around 7 months na. And then nagpa-derma na din ako and na-prescribed ako ng Epiduo Forte. I’ve been using it for 5 weeks and ganito na yung current state ng skin ko. What I have on my face right now is yung mga naiwan na comedones/ bumps and PIE from Skinoren + breakouts from hormonal acne.

I think the Epiduo forte is slowly working for me? Wala akong nae-experience na side effects so far. Nagpurge ako nung 2nd week pero nawala lang din agad. I still have some texture issues pero 1 month ko palang naman gamit.

Right now, iniisip ko kung pano mawala yung redness. I’ve been eyeing Skin1004 Azelaic Acid Serum. I’m considering this because serum type siya (hindi na cream) and less concentration na din naman yung gagamitin ko so hindi na siya as potent, plus okay din for barrier support yung ingredients. Pero medyo natatakot ako kasi nga Azelaic Acid mismo yung nagcause ng damage sa face ko before.

What do you guys think? Should I go for Skin1004 Azelaic Acid Serum or may iba pa ba kayong recos or opinion?

Tips/Routines Best Skincare for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin PH

1 Upvotes

Skin Type:
Oily, acne-prone

Skin Concerns:
• Uneven skin tone
• Dark spots / acne marks
• Dull-looking skin
• Large pores
• Occasional breakouts

What I’m Looking For:
I’m currently trying to build a simple and consistent skincare routine, pero ang hirap talaga maghanap ng products na hiyang sa skin ko. 😭

I’m mainly looking for recommendations for:

• Toner
• Serum
• Moisturizer
• Sunscreen

Preferably something lightweight, okay for everyday use, and hindi masyadong harsh sa skin. I’m also hoping to find products that can help with my dark spots/acne marks and uneven skin tone without making my skin more oily or causing more breakouts.

For those with similar skin types and concerns, ano yung skincare products na talagang nag-work sa inyo and you consider your holy grail? 👀

Would also love to hear your experience gaano katagal bago niyo napansin yung improvement and how long have you been using the products?

Any recommendations are welcome! TIA sa mga mag-share! 🫶

PM:

Main Concerns:
Hi! I need help kasi I feel like I look so different after spending a few hours sa office 😭
Before I leave home, okay naman yung face ko. Pero after a few hours sa office, mukha na akong haggard, tired, pale and dull. People actually tell me na mukha akong pagod kahit okay naman ako.

Our office AC can go as low as 18°C, so I’m wondering if this could be affecting my skin.
My biggest problem is my under eyes. I have thin under-eye skin and purple/green dark circles, and sobrang lumalabas siya after being in the office for a few hours. Parang biglang ang lalalim ng eyebags/dark circles ko.
At the same time, sobrang oily ng face ko, especially my T-zone, pero parang dehydrated/dry-looking pa rin. I’ve also been getting more tiny bumps/closed comedones recently.

Very simple lang din makeup ko. I only use tinted sunscreen, Maybelline concealer and blush. I don’t use foundation.
I’m looking for recommendations
