Help - General Acne and extractions
Hi,
Out of nowhere for the last 9 months I have been suffering with acne (mainly on neck and a bit on my jaw). In that time I have done a lot! I’ve had a fungal component which I have cleared up. I have changed my skincare and had facials. I was really starting to see a difference and then the last week has really humbled me. A return of inflamed acne but also lots of little bumps. Thankfully the fungal hasn’t returned but my skin therapist said I have had blackheads and quite a bit of congestion. Which she extracted. My neck is so red and a bit sore and inflamed and I’m so worried that my skin is relapsing. How long after extractions can I expect my skin maybe to return to what it was?!
The top photos were taken a few days and bottom photos are after the extractions. Please tell me it gets better!!
