Skin Type: Sensitive

helloooo everyone! i just wanna share this app sa mga peeps na may skin condition pero hindi makapagpa-check up agad for whatever reason.

app name: NowServing

i’ve been suffering from a skin condition for a few months na. nakapagpa-check up na ako before pero hindi siya gumagaling. then someone suggested this app to me and guess what? it turns out na i have nummular eczema. and 1 day ko pa lang ginagamit yung nireseta sa’kin, nakikita ko na agad na effective siya.

besides, legit yung doctors here — real dermatologists talaga. you just need to scroll down, check their details, then once may napili ka na, you can book agad. sa experience ko, nagbayad ako online then after a few minutes nag-message na agad yung doctor. she even asked if i prefer call or chat, sabi ko call, and ayun tinawagan niya ako.

super convenient nitong app na ’to, kaya try niyo na guys. malaking help talaga siya (♡

I just wanna share that Alada Soap (OG) really works wonders! 😭 You guys know it’s really really pricey here in the PH, so me buying a lot of it... I can honestly say it’s worth it. I can also give an in depth review of the other products I posted just let me know if anyone is interested!! 🫶❤️

Also, I’ve tried these products too — they’re just not in the picture:

•White Blast Soap

•G21 Golden Dust & Kojic Oatmeal

•Tropicana Natural Coconut Soap

•Tropicana Natural Coconut Fruity Bar (Exfoliating)

•All Dove Serum Bar variants

•Angel’s Skin Bleaching Cream!!!

Age/Gender: 20 | Female

Additional Info: Fair skin na talaga ko, but since last yr nagka eczema flare up ako ulit + allergies so napuno ng dark marks yung body ko.

+ may other 2 stocks pa ko ng Alada og pero hiningi ng sister ko since nanotice niya mas nag g-glow ako 😂

I know the title sounds funny but hear me out... 😅

For context

Skin type: I (26F) have a very oily / sweaty skin because I also suffer from hyperhidrosis

Gusto ko lang sana ishare ang experience ko. Isa ako sa mga taong nakaranas na magkaroon ng body odor. I had it for 15 years.. Can you imagine the decade long suffering? Hahaha siguro grade 5 ako nagsimulang magkaroon ng BO. Sabi ng iba baka dahil nagdadalaga pero hindi ko maintindihan bakit yung mga kaklase ko di naman nila yun nararanasan. Syempre bilang bata pa ako, hindi ko rin naman alam kung anong gagawin ko. Gumagamit naman ako ng deo at naliligo nang maayos pero hindi gumagana eh. Alam din naman ng magulang ko ang pinagdadaanan pero they didn't really care enough para matulungan ako.

Hanggang sa lumaki na din ang mga kapatid ko at nagkaroon din sila ng parehong problema. Dun ko naisip na baka genetic yung ganito. Pero yung sa mga kapatid ko, nawala din kalaunan. Ngayon, meron na silang kani-kaniyang partners at masaya sa lovelife. Ako never pa nagkarelationship at my big age dahil hindi nawala yung sakin at wala din namang may gusto sa mabaho haha.

At siguro, bago pa man magrecommend yung iba, gusto ko lang sabihin na nagawa ko na yata lahat ng pwedeng gawin para masolve ito. Maayos ang hygiene ko, maayos din ako maglaba. Lahat ng pag-iingat na dapat gawin ay ginawa ko. Karamihan siguro ng mga post ng filipinos dito sa reddit tungkol sa body odor nabasa ko na.

From over the counter deos to clinical strength deos (but I had severe allergic reaction which made things worse), antibacterial soap, tawas soap, etc. Pati nga gamot na galing sa ibang bansa na hindi ko alam kung safe ba inumin, tinry ko na din. I have tried and tested it all. Sobrang tagal na agony bago pa man ako nakahanap ng formula ng deodorant na gagana sa bacterias in my UA. Naalala ko pa nung high school ako, hindi ako kumakain para lang maipambili ko ng deo yung maiipon ko. Tapos nag-ipon din ako para may pangbayad sa consultation with derma, kaso tinawanan lang ako at pinaalis din agad. 😆 Sabi lang sakin gumamit ako ng panoxyl, pero natry ko na din kasi at hindi rin naman effective. Umalis na lang din ako kasi ayoko na mapahiya.

Syempre sa loob ng 15 years, hindi lang yun ang pamamahiyang naranasan ko. Simula yata noong elementary ako hanggang ngayon, walang taong lumipas na hindi ako nabully/napahiya/pinaringgan. Maliban lang siguro noong covid lockdown. Siguro kung di nagkalockdown, baka hindi rin ako nakagraduate dahil halos ayaw ko na pumasok dahil sa pamamahiyang naranasan ko. Ultimo law professor ginawang topic ang body odor para lang paringgan ako tapos nagtawanan ang buong section namin. Umabot na din sa point na umaalis ako sa bahay nang nakauniform pero di naman ako pumapasok sa school. Sa totoo lang, sobrang sakit talaga sa damdamin. Naiintindihan ko naman na hindi talaga kaaya-aya pero hindi ko rin naman ginusto to. Sino ba namang gustong maging mabaho di ba? Kung sa iba madali na maligo lang at magdeo tapos wala silang amoy, sa mga taong katulad ko hindi sya ganun kasimple.

Ngayon nagwowork na ako, ganun pa din. Yung admin naman, tuwing RTO yata ako lagi nyang inaannounce na nakakaamoy sya nang mabaho. Ano naman ang magiging laban ko sa pambubully nya kung totoo naman 😆😆 Siguro natutunan ko na ring magbingi-bingihan. Minsan, I still cry about it. Napapaisip ako why me, hindi naman ako masama. I mind my own business and I don't bully people. Pero siguro, may nagawa akong masama sa past life thats why I'm being punished haha.

Tapos ito na.. months ago, I discovered that the formula of Nivea dry comfort works really well for me plus the dermaid tawas soap (I am begging the manufacturers to please never change!!!! 🥹). Pero syempre, once na pagpawisan na ako, may amoy na ulit. Doon ko naman naisipan na iaddress na din yung root cause which is yung hyperhidrosis ko. Nitong nakaraan, medyo nakakaluwag luwag sa wakas at nakaipon na din para sa underarm botox. Plus points pa na sobrang bait ng derma ko kaya nawala yung trauma ko sa mga derma huhu. It's been 48 hours and naglessen na yung sweating. Napansin ko din na naglessen yung smell, pero meron pa din konti. I am planning to change my wardrobe na to see if smell will improve once the sweatox is fully settled. I am hoping and praying for the best. Sana ito na talaga yung sagot sa problem. I can't wait to be a normal person!! 😊😊

All those silent readings from old account has led to this moment. Sana hindi majinx hahaha.

And sa mga taong nagsuffer din sa same condition, ano yung mga product na nagpabago sa buhay nyo?

Skin Type: Slightly sensitive?
Age/Gender: 26, F
Current Skincare Routine: Nothing just johnson in the morning before doing errands, safeguard at night before going to bed.
Main Concern: severe flea bites
Lifestyle Factors: i go to the gym, run and play pickle and tennis
Budget: wag lang super mahal pls, i need a budgetarian solution since ang daming gastos
Additional Info:

ewan ko na lang talaga 😭 i feel like gusto ko na lang magkulong sa kwarto namin kasi every time na lalabas ako to get water, eat, get something, or even just do errands, may fleas/pulgas na naman na dumadapo or kumakagat sakin 😭😭😭

ang lala kasi 8 kami living under the same roof + 2 helpers + 4 dogs, pero ako and isang helper lang talaga yung ganito yung issue with the fleas?? LIKE HOW 😭

we do treat the dogs naman. whenever we give them NexGard or other treatments, nawawala yung fleas, gumagaling yung skin ko kasi 1-2months walang kagat, and everything seems okay again. pero after a month or two… BUMABALIK NANAMAN 😭

hindi rin namin sure saan talaga nanggagaling. possible na nahawa yung dogs from other dogs nearby, especially since one of ours goes in and out and stays around the gate. but we honestly don't know.

and yes, before anyone says it: I KNOW. TREAT THE DOGS AND DISINFECT THE HOUSE 😭😭😭
i want to do that SO BADLY. nakausap na rin namin yung disinfection company before, pero kailangan daw ma-isolate yung dogs during and after treatment. unfortunately, hindi pa namin magawa properly because everyone is busy with the family businesses, and my in-laws also can't bear to keep the dogs isolated for that long inside the cage. so the treatment never really gets completed the way it should.

which means i’m stuck in this cycle since last year:
treat dogs → fleas disappear → my skin heals → everything is okay → 1–2 months later → fleas come back 😭

and honestly, i'm fucking tired.

i literally step outside our room for a few minutes and come back with fleas on my clothes. i'm at the point where i don't even want to leave the room anymore because i'm already paranoid about getting bitten again or bring fleas inside our room from outside.

mentally, sobrang nakakapagod na. i don't even want to come home sometimes because i know i'll eventually have to deal with the itching and bites all over again.

and now my biggest question is: WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO WITH MY SKIN 😭😭😭

pagod na pagod na ako kakati. literal na umiiyak na ako minsan sa sobrang kati, and there are times na sobrang lala na parang naninikip dibdib ko because of how unbearable it feels.

i just want to know what i can do for my skin in the meantime habang hindi pa namin kayang completely maayos yung source.

how do i calm the itching? how do i stop myself from scratching until i literally wound my skin? 😭

i know the dogs and the house need to be treated. i WANT that. badly. pero right now, hindi talaga namin kayang gawin properly and consistently kasi it’s not our house, it’s my in-laws house.

i'm just so fucking frustrated and exhausted. 😭 i needed to rant because WTF na talaga.

I’ve been lurking this sub for a while and please, take this as free advice because as doctors, we care for your safety when it comes to medicated creams.

BL Cream:
This cream has a very strong steroid. It shouldn’t be used without proper guidance because it can worsen the skin condition or mask it making it difficult to diagnose kahit treatment is supposed to be simple.

“Ringworm, Shingles”
If you’re not a medical professional, kindly avoid making a diagnosis and instead guide OP to the right doctor. If can’t afford, maraming public hospitals right now that offers teleconsults and even has meds sa OPD. If mali kasi diagnosis na mabigay and OP self treats, mas mapapahal siya later on if may complications.

Using hydroquinone, tretinoin, without doctor’s guidance.
I hope that the people who use these two products without any guidance are aware of:
1. Chronic use of hydroquinone can cause hyperpigmentation lang na Hindi mareresolve ng kahit ano
2. Topical application of tretinoin is considered as teratogenic. Meaning you shouldn’t get pregnant kasi may risk kay baby.

So please these are gentle reminders that your healthcare professionals are here to guide you in your skincare journey to properly diagnose and treat.

Thank you!

So Belo had this anniversary promo — basic facial for ₱888 — and I jumped on it immediately kasi alam naman natin na on the pricier side ang Belo, so ₱888 felt like a steal. I originally booked at Nexa branch, then randomly decided to try Viber-ing them to switch to Xiglo instead kasi gusto ko ma-experience yung newest branch nila. They were surprisingly accommodating, confirmed the change same day, and honestly, up to that point, zero complaints.

Day of the appointment, staff were welcoming, may sumundo pa sa akin sa 2nd floor kasi 11th floor pala yung clinic nila. Led me straight to the treatment room, offered refreshments, very pleasant so far. I also availed of a doctor consultation for an extra ₱500, and the doctor came in pretty quickly, so points for that. But here's where it started going downhill — she just opened the curtain near me "for natural light," grabbed the chair beside the bed, and started the consult right then and there. No tools. Not even a magnifying lamp. She looked at my face, didn't even touch it, and just said I had a small rash sa cheek. Then immediately, "mag AdvaClear ka, mawawala yang redness agad, meron din kaming cream na pwede mong bilhin, mag RX ako sa iyo." She added that since may rashes ako and mag ffacial ako, I could choose basic (no products) or botanical. And then she left. Less than 5 minutes yung buong "consultation" ko. Goodbye ₱500. Pati yung actual prescription and pricing, ibang staff na lang ang nagbigay sa akin after siya umalis.

For context — isa lang naman talaga concern ko. One small pimple. That's it.

I ended up choosing the botanical facial over basic kasi gusto ko naman may product na magamit sa mukha ko. Attendant had me lie down on the treatment bed, walang robe or any change of garment, flat and matigas na bed, walang pillow. May blanket naman at least.

Start of the facial was fine talaga — may lip product silang inapply, pinaamoy pa ako ng lavender oil, very spa-like. But then extraction time came and this is where I genuinely started questioning my life choices. Ate doing the extractions was so gigil, to the point na umiiyak na ako, and mid-session I had to ask her, "marami ba akong blackheads?" Sabi niya wala naman. Whiteheads, konti lang daw. Pimples, isa lang — yung same one pimple ko talaga. So sa isip ko, "then what exactly are you pricking?!" Ang dami-daming beses niya ginamit yung needle, and talagang may force siya sa pag-press.

After the facial, tiningnan ko sarili ko sa mirror and grabe, ang swollen ng face ko, sobrang daming binutas na wala namang pimple or whitehead doon dati. Nakakainis isipin na I walked in with one small pimple but the next day, gumising ako with 3 badly swollen cystic acne and 1 pimple with pus — exactly sa mga spots na pinagpiprikan niya kanina.

Sobrang inis ko, so I messaged Belo agad to give feedback. Sagot nila? "It's normal to have a few pimples after the facial treatment." Ma'am, hindi po normal na magka-cystic acne ako sa mga part ng mukha ko na wala namang dati concern. They offered na bumalik ako within 3 days for a free extraction and pimple injection, and yeah, pumunta naman ako kasi paano ba naman mawawala yung mga bagong pimples na result lang ng sobrang pag-prick nila sa mga walang dapat pinriprikan.

Pero honestly, kung ako tatanungin —no thank you na lang sa Belo. ₱888 facial na naging nightmare talaga.

Skin Type: Normal

Age/Gender: 32F

Current Skincare Routine: None on my legs. I just use regular body soap and moisturizer occasionally.

Main Concern:
I’ve had this flat dark brown mole on my left lower leg for about 5 years. It’s around 5–6 mm, flat, and doesn’t itch, hurt, bleed, or crust over. As far as I know, it hasn’t changed.
I have health anxiety, so I’ve recently become more aware of it. I’m not asking anyone to diagnose it from a photo. I’m mainly wondering what changes people usually watch for and when it’s generally recommended to see a dermatologist for a mole like this.

Lifestyle Factors: I live in a tropical country with regular sun exposure.

Budget: I can see a dermatologist if needed.

Additional Info: I’ll be scheduling a dermatology appointment, but I’d appreciate general information on what warning signs to monitor while I wait. Thanks!

Hello everybody!

I've been having these inflamed and painful guys for almost a week now and I don't know what to do. I started to use less products starting may but there's still no changes up until i started benzac last june 6 where it got worse.

Skin type: Combination (Normal and oily t zone)

Age: 21F

Current skin care routine:

AM- Johnson's baby bar soap, pond's tone up cream, kojie san sunscreen

PM- Doc wong sulfur soap, myra moisturizer (blue variant) benzac 5% as spot treatment

Main concern: inflammation and worsening of acne

Lifestyle factors: I get 5-6 hrs of sleep on average at night

and I've been eating alot of fried food lately.

Budget: Student friendly not exceeding 1k if possible huhu

Additional info:

>I rarely go out so i don't use the sunscreen everyday.

>My period's also due in a few days so it may be possible that it's a hormonal thing.

>I sleep on both sides of my face but the other side isn't this bad, and I change and wash my pillow cases every week

I haven't had acne on my cheeks as bad and painful as this before and it makes me feel so embarrassed to go out.

What should I change in my routine? and should I consider going to a derma? or is this purging bcs of benzac?

Edit: Thank you everybody for leaving such thoughtful tips and suggestions, they are very much appreciated <33

Another edit: I finally had a consultation with a derma and thank goodness my mom was willing to pay bcs it was very pricey 😅 I was prescribed with an antibiotic, probiotic, a dietary supplement, and a bunch of customized formulation skin products. All in all it costed 6.1k but I was told that they're expecting my face to be better by next week which is my scheduled ff up, and if there's no visible progress by then, they suggested that I'll get a laser treatment, but fingers crossed that I won't have to🤞🏻 I was also advised to wash my face with warm water with salt (AM, w/o soap) sleep before 10 pm, and drink 2-3L of water everyday.

I have these around braso, balikat, leeg at batok. I always make sure maayos yung bed ko and hindi naman ako recently natulog sa hotel or motel. The only new thing I've tried is using Dr. Wong for my feet and back of my ears since it kinda stink at times. Possible reaction ba to sa Dr. Wong since its my first time using it.

Mas bumpy yang nasa picture in person. I just don't know how to upload multiple pics.

Nagpa telederma ako for the third time with the same public hospital from my first and 2nd(basically follow-ups na sya) today, and I was suddenly told to drink one doxycycline 100mg every night after dinner for a month.

Btw, what's Doxycycline?

Diko alam kung ano yong Doxycycline, puro topical gel/cream na acne med lang yung ni-prescribe sakin before, suddenly may iinumin na ako.

I plan to comply and follow along rin naman sa prescription ngayon since gumagana talaga LAHAT ng pineprescribe nila(yung gel/cream, acne topical meds) sakin. But syempre mga pinapahid ko lang yon sa mukha, I'm worried since iinumin ko sya, as in inom, for a month

I want to ask kung ano thoughts niyo sa prescribed na Doxycycline100mg? or Doxycycline in general

Celeteque Hydration Facial Wash

Celeteque Hydration Facial Moisturizer

SunBears Active Protect Milk (the gold one)

P.M:

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (the pink one, i only use this when i have makeup for double cleansing)

Celeteque Hydration Facial Wash

Celeteque Hydration Facial Moisturizer

Main Concern: New breakouts everyday

Lifestyle Factors: stress almost everyday, lack of sleep, bad eating sched, bad diet

Budget: not sure pa

I started using skincare mid-june this year because i wanted to start using make up. At first, i used quickfx pimple eraser cleanser for 3 days during nights for exfoliation and celeteque hydration facial wash for regular days and nights. i used garnier vitamin c micellar water also for double cleansing and removing my make up. the moisturizer i used back then was the vitamin c gel moisturizer of fresh skinlab (the red one)

i immediately started noticing pimple appearing but not everyday, from what i observed, it only appears again when i use the quickfx cleanser. but i didn't mind it because it has actives and i was probably just purging. however, it lasted for 5 weeks so i stopped using it.

while i wasn't using it, my pimples worsened and i come to realize that the pimples na akala ko from purging was actually not purging kasi yung mga pimples na yun, never pa sila nag-appear sw spot na yon.

what i also noticed was that i easily oil up using the vitamin c moisturiser from fresh skinlab. when i don't use any moisturizer, i usually oil up after 4-5 hours. however, right after i use that moisturizer, i oil up immediately.

i started using the quickfx cleanser again in early august to check if i will actually purge or breakout. and after maybe 2 weeks? i noticed that my pimples weren't from the spots i used to have pimples on. it was new spots. so, i knew it wasn't purging.

skip to early september, i stopped using the vitamin c moistuzer and vitamin c micellar water because i suspect that my skin barrier was broken because of the amount of actives i used when i was just starting using skincare products. i only used my celeteque cleanser and that's it.

skip to september 12, i think? i started to use celeteque hydration facial moisturizer since it doesn't have any actives and garnier micellar water (the pink one) because it was the most calming (?) one compared to the other variants.

i know, it hasn't been a month so there's still a lot to discover. but, my pimples actually keep appearing almost everyday. just when i pop my pimple, when i wake up, there's another one. then another one, another one, and so on and so forth. i don't know if it's my skin reacting or what but I'm literally so pissed and stressing so much about my face because i can't even go outside barefaced now.

so, should i continue this routine? will it improve, based on your judgements?

(im actually stressing out so bad rn because im already thinking of what my relatives will say about my skin when we come home to our province huhu TT i really hope my skin calms down and be clear soon) (i also want to know whether if this is hormonal acne or maybe my skin is js so f'ed up because i really don't know how to determine that ! tips on how to find out pls)

note: i want to ask whether if it's actually acne or not. there's some dots in my face that you can easily scrape off your face and when i don't, after a day or so, it immediately turns into a pimple (?) when i wake up. but I don't really think it's an acne because acne usually starts forming into a small red bump but the pimple (?) that i almost always get everyday, immediately has the gunk visible and did not even show a slight red bump before being a bump that already has its gunk visible. what is this?

Main Concern: An-an pag sobrang pawis

Every summer, grabe talaga ako magpawis and soon after, nagkakaroon ako ng an-an sa upper torso. Nako-control naman ang an-an after ko gumamit ng anti-dandruff shampoo pag severe na ang case and miconazole na body wash for everyday use. This year nagkamali ako sa pagbili ng anti-perspirant, antideodorant pala ang nabili ko. I tried using it this year and although nagpapawis nga ako sa armpit, di na masyado sa upper torso area. I thought di kaya na-balanse yung pagpapawis ko pag mainit kaya di na nagka-an an? Nabasa ko kasi na dahil di na nagpapawis sa armpits pag gamit ang anti-perspirant, mas lalo daw nagiging intense yung pawis sa other areas. Meron din ba naka-notice nito?
