I have been on a 30 year crusade to get rid of the sebaceous filaments on my nose. My constant search to find a product/routine that will get rid of them is what got me into skincare. NOTHING has helped remove them and I have tried it ALL. I have accepted having them to a degree but they really are the bane of my existence.
Same here. NOTHING works. Products or removing them either cause irritation, flakiness, bruises, peeling, redness…everything except smooth! If I dont touch them for weeks, they get so full you can definitely see them w/out getting close. I hate them, I want them to die lol.
Ditto! I find that oil helps to remove them. Once a week or so, I use coconut oil or mineral oil on a cotton ball to wipe them away. It's all I've found to help.
I hate sebaceous filaments. I use cleansing balm and a gentle foaming cleanser and they never go away. I would use acids but my skin is really sensitive. I usually gently pluck them out with a tweezer and then it just leaves large pore holes
I thought my skin was too sensitive for anything but using SA and BP washes for a short time and washing them off has been awesome. I can now leave on for longer and occasionally not wash it off. Just can’t do multiple days in a row.
I’m plagued by the sebaceous filament on my chin. Niacinamide, Tretinoin and CeraVe SA cleanser in the AM. Helps. Have a great rest of your weekend, Dr. Dray!
Howdy Dr.Dray and all my buddies here! I always enjoy these vlogs particularly duing times when things are kind of difficult, somewhat! Stresses and pressure but we will survive!😊 Hope you are all having a wonderful day, it's just so hot!🕶😥
Don't stress! JC got ya back! While heat is being promoted to induce fear the southern hemisphere is having record colds that are being ignored. Now isn't that a Howdy do LOL
@@UncleCharlie111x2 thank you Charlie!😊 nope I haven't heard about the colder temperatures! Hope you have been well! I wore my Gatlinburg Tennessee t-shirt a couple of days ago! If you're near the mountains, I bet it feels nice! Not too crazy about bears, however.
I use the Vanicream liquid cleanser as my hand wash which works great as a facial cleanser for me so I just give my face a rinse pretty much every time I wash my hands. Also a good reminder to reapply sunscreen.
Happy Sunday! I love the carwash Vlogs, so relaxing. I don't know how you don't get mad that it's raining right after though! You must truly be an emotionally balanced individual😂😂
I have to shut my eyes in the car wash. The motion of the brushes makes me car sick. It's the only time I ever have that feeling in the car. 🤷 Thanks for the tips for treating sebaceous filaments. I always have a hard time understanding the difference between those and whiteheads. Happy Sunday, Dr Dray! Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💜
I just watched Abbey Yung do a full face of SPF makeup. I don’t know if you’ve heard of each other, but I’m guessing you could appreciate such a look. 😃
Hi Dr.Dray ,I would really love to know your thoughts on the Garnier superfood body moisturiser. I got the avocado and omega 6 one recently and would really like to hear what you think of the products . Thanks 😊
Dr. Dray. How about a video on your favorite petroleum based products? I’ve searched your vast inventory of videos but can’t seem to find a video where you recommend a variety of petroleum products in one video.
@@laurenpetro4807 2% & 4% are good for sensitive skin, I have sensitive skin. Always have a gentle cleanser in stock too. Keep following Dr. Dray and you will be fine.
@@laurenpetro4807 pick one and see how your skin likes it. I’d recommend the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cleanser from acne free. Use it one time a week for one week, then 2 times a week for 2 week, 3x/week for 3 weeks, etc., until you feel like your skin isn’t reacting to it. I personally never had any reaction and think you’ll be fine but everyone is different
You should try the facial marula oil at Trader Joes. I use it only as a hair oil after I wash my hair. It's great and not greasy. I only use 1-2 drops.
I use Aztec Indian Healing Clay, 100% natural calcium bentonite clay. Mix with apple cider ginger to make a paste. Leaves my skin clear and smooth. Kroger carries it, $10/1 lb. It’s been around a long long time. Hope you try it and like it. Beautiful week to everyone!
@@db-gb5xi ACV is nothing more than apple scraps, sugar and water. It is a recommended additive to this powder, it is not an acid. I was a Nurse at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and would never use anything nor suggest anything harmful. You can make your own choice but educate yourself.
@@vra735The pH of ACV can be between 2-4, so yes, it is technically an acid, is acidic, and contains acetic acid. Apple cider vinegar is actually made from apple cider and fermented into the vinegar. Something made with apple scraps sugar and water is not ACV. I'm surprised you told people to educate themselves but I can tell you mean well and are just trying to defend yourself. I personally did not do well with acv and bentonite clay. It's way less of an irritant using plain water.
Why does this have to happen? How do we go from having perfect skin as children to having disgusting gross repulsive nauseating skin like mine??? I hate my face skin Probably the only way I can fix this thing is to go to a dermatologist and get lots of treatment but I can't afford none of that stuff I used to have low self-esteem about my skin Now I have low self-esteem plus hatred towards my skin and I honestly don't know how to fix it but I'm trying. 😢😣
I promise you that you can see improvement with 1) retin a 2) Vaseline 3) sunscreen and hats 4) drink enough water. You can get retin a online. Search around for good deals. Even if you could afford a dermatologist I would tell you to do these things first. You don't need to spend money on fancy products. I got depressed and neglected my skin for over a year. And then I got better and started to care about skin again. It took about a year but my skin is back baby! Don't think you can get there without these things. Tough love but you have to care enough about yourself to not cheat. Care every day. Don't give up! We need accountability buddies and that's probably why you watch this channel. ❤
@@jackiegerarde9938 but the thing is I do wear sunscreen everyday for 20 years I've been protecting my skin from the Sun I wear a big hat two different at the same time and I still have so much ugly discoloration ugly sunspots I can't afford prescription retinol I don't know about the over-the-counter stuff because which one will cause me breakouts and some of them are too expensive I can't put anything greasy and oily like vaseline on my face because immediately I will break out I should be treating wrinkles but instead I'm still treating acne my skin won't let me use products to treat wrinkles because immediately it'll break out I've wasted so much money on anti-wrinkle creams that all they did was make me break out because my skin just won't let me During the summer time it won't let me moisturize because I'll get pimples everywhere I know the more expensive the product of better quality but sometimes I just can't get the really expensive stuff and even if I do there's no guarantee that it won't make me break out. ☹️ I just feel like I have bully mean skin like my skin is a schoolyard bully that just won't leave me alone and I wonder how many other people feel the same way I do about their skin 😢😭 but I appreciate so much the advice you gave me it sounds like wonderful advice but the problem is my skin won't let me especially the Vaseline
Get a gentle cleanser such as Calm & Restore by aveeno, I use this and has helped my face lots, a gentle moisturiser, sunscreen. Iam not sure if you have acne, but Differin is a good one can get that at Target. Self care is the best care, take care of yourself, do your own spa day and pamper your face. I promise things will get better😊
@@21972012145525 you too you're also struggling with your skin?? A lot of times I feel like I'm the only one because everywhere I go I see people with nice skin even unhealthy people have nice skin!! I take care of myself I eat healthy I exercise I live a healthy lifestyle but my skin doesn't show it in fact alcoholics have nicer skin than me how is that fair??????? It's like what am I doing wrong?? There needs to be a TH-cam channel dedicated for people like us with super super difficult skin!!!! This is beyond oily skin this is bad skin on another level 😭😭😭😢😢😢
Hey Dr. Dray, is it safe to shave / ‘dermaplane’ the face when sebaceous filaments are present? I know it’s not recommended over active acne but does it pose the same / other risks when it comes to sebaceous filaments?
I've tried oilplaning instead of dermaplaning, just because I don't like the feeling of dermaplaning on dry skin. I noticed that they looked less obvious but didn't go away / get irritated, which is good.
Happy Sunday!! Hope you’re staying cool this summer. It’s been super hot out here in Arizona. I still prefer a hot summer over a cold NYC winter. Stay fabulous and enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😎💃🏻
Dr.Dray, I’m getting a lot of these as I get older (50). I just noticed another one. They are raised and pearly or a little tiny cauliflower look. Is that the same thing? Thank you for this video! Perfect timing!
@@DrDrayzday That’s what I think it is. Dermatologist told me years ago but I forgot the name. I found the videos you made on Sebaceous Hyperplasia. Thank you very much!
I just had my dermatologist zap 23 sebaceous hyperplasia spots on my face, several of them needed a second treatment. Have a hard time with sebaceous filaments on my chin, I’ll try adding more moisturizer to my routine.
Dr. Dray thanks for the ride through the car wash😂 You are smart and entertaining! I personally like the Lazer wash in Pa. you don't have to navigate the tire track.
I’ve had these on my whole nose my entire life and have never been able to even minimize them ever 😭 I think I’m cursed to having them permanently, people think my nose is covered in tiny blackheads
Same for me. Nothing ever clears them. They can be pushed out but they never fully come out like blackheads where you can see the empty pore. I’ve been using Paula’s choice Salicylic acid and a toner. Which I don’t think most toners really do much, but it’s more than a toner, it has the niacinamide and other good things in it like most “serums” have. It’s managing them, thankfully they can be hidden very easily with the concealer I use (Age Rewind). But they’ve made me self conscious my whole life! I’m paranoid that people look at me and see what they think as blackheads and think I’m dirty. ☹️😢 They take up my ENTIRE nose, T-zone, chin, and forehead!!! So literally my whole face. I know I’ll never be able to have the clear, clean looking skin almost everyone else has…
@@Pslm.103_1-4try out clay mask ; once a week or two And another that u can use is the huda beauty enzyme exfoliate for me is a go to when i want clear face and to get rid of any filaments on the nose.
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Sunday😀n what a Wonderful Vlog…. thanks n This is Gonna so Cool🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
I know this has nothing to do with your topic in this video, but I am OBSESSED with your sunglasses! I even stopped the video a third of the way through to search Ray Ban sunglasses to see if I could find them. Alas, that wasn't enough to go on. But I shall keep looking!
Another great video Dr Dray Thx. Doesn’t just make your day having a nice clean car inside and out and spelling nice. I’m normally the only one in my car hubby drives his truck. Which that is his responsibility but I do give him scent things lol.
I'm sure that everyone loves a clay mask once in a while. 😊❤. Not only there are beneficial for some but also fun treating yourself with something luxurious once in a while 😊❤. Have a great day Doctor Andrea be well 😊✌🙏😇.
I am wondering if shaving the area with a little razor is an horrible practice that will make things worse or a good temporary solution like the pore strips 🧐
I just seen my dermatologist two days ago because I had one inside my ear. Thank you so much I wish I would have seen this before I went to him LOL. Thank you Dr. Dray!
I tried a few bottles of niacinamide from The Ordinary, didn't work at all. I can squeeze them out every single day. I have no acne at all, I am 58 and have them around and at the nose and on the chin only. The kind of mild retinols from The Ordinary didn't work either. Real retinols or tretinion you can't get without prescription in Germany.
Try a Salicylic acid serum, in the morning and evening; Salicylic acid loves oil so it gets pulled into the pores filled with sebum and dries them out, clearing the oil.
Had them ever since puberty. Never knew, you could even do anything about them, since the TH-cam (or systematic skincare, especially outside of official treatment) wasn't a thing yet, back in the 90s. I mean, I used to go to a derm as a teen because of acne. Got Benzoyl peroxide cream and that was that. No education about the importance of moisturizer or sunscreen, not even a hint, that stuff like Salicylic Acid might be helpful...yikes. I've been using the Cerave Retinol for a while and it has definitely cut down my still persistent oilyness and also improved the enlarged pores on my nose a little...Not sure, if it has an anti aging effect on me, but I had fairly smooth skin, to begin with. Never liked sunbathing, luckily. Still got (smaller) sebaceous filaments, so I have added an SA toner in the morning. Gotta be careful though, because if my skin is the slightest bit irritated, sunscreen will start stinging and burning me.
How does one tell the difference between sebaceous filaments, tiny hairs, or blackheads on your nose? I have huge pores and they always look full of something 😩
I couldn’t get through that video on the hairs vs seb filaments since I tend to watch while eating breakfast 😂 but I think the treatments are roughly the same?
I’m on tretinoin every night. I use a salycilic acid cleanser at the moment as tolerated, just bought it. As I’ve been on tret for a year. I have some of these sebaceous hyperplasia (are they the same thing?) and hopefully they go away in time also blackheads/whiteheads around my chin jaw area I’m here looking for what you suggest we do and what we should use 😊 have a lovely day.
Haven't watched the vid but simply using a glycolic cleanser every alternate day with moisturizer helps! Especially moisturizer, it really lifts up those dead skin cells and get in between the cells seperating them!
I use Cerve SA cleanser and Paulas Choice SA serum with tinted sunscreen in AM. In eve I use Albolene and Cerve SA cleanser together and then put on adapalene. Any Thoughts??
@drdrayzday Thanks for the video! I shared it with my brother in law who has concerns about pores etc on his nose. I’m dying to know what movie you saw and what you thought of it.
I have a white spot on my face. I only see it in up close selfies in certain light. I cant remember if its a sabecous filament or not. Zhe said a laser might work on it. But i havent done it yet.
Hi Dr Dray!! I have recently used Klairs cleansing oil on my neck (not the first time) and I don't know what it is!? Either allergy/ reaction or purging. There's lots of tiny bump with white dried filaments coming out. It's not itchy and also some small red pimples are also coming out. I went to a derma and she gave me anti-histamine and I took for 4 days now (6 more to go) and it's still there. Can anyone tell what this is? Have anyone of you experienced this.? And yes I have acne on my face especially now in chin area.
As much as I love Dr. Dray, that is distracted driving right there. I know influencers do this all the time, but people have actually been injured and even died as a result of this.
@@Danm2201 People used the same argument when mobile phones first came out. You drive...you must focus on the road. This is what you teach your kids. Accidents while livestreaming is a thing! It's called distracted driving for a reason. Silly we have to wait few more years to collect data to know what should have been obvious from the start.
I have sebaceous hyperplasia. I've been using retin A for over a year and have only seen mild improvement. Is there any type of procedure you can recommend. They are mostly on my forehead. 😔
I just had 23 sebaceous hyperplasia spots zapped by my dermatologist, he used a desiccation device to zap the trapped oil. A few spots needed a second treatment and I think they’re going away now.
Accure 1726nm laser, it blasts the sebaceous glands that produce this shit into oblivion, search for a dermatologist that has it. Or take Roaccutane if you don't mind the side effects.
I know this is way of topic, but the way you use your seat belt in the car is really dangerous if you get in an accident. The lower part of the belt needs to sit on your hip area. Because of the bag in your lap, out have the belt under your breast. In an accident that will cause some enormous trauma to the soft tissue inside your abdomen.
I have been on a 30 year crusade to get rid of the sebaceous filaments on my nose. My constant search to find a product/routine that will get rid of them is what got me into skincare. NOTHING has helped remove them and I have tried it ALL. I have accepted having them to a degree but they really are the bane of my existence.
I hear you.
Retina keeps my at bay.
Same here. NOTHING works. Products or removing them either cause irritation, flakiness, bruises, peeling, redness…everything except smooth! If I dont touch them for weeks, they get so full you can definitely see them w/out getting close. I hate them, I want them to die lol.
I use an enzyme cleanser in powder form and works perfect every time!
@@beauty_enthusiastwhat’s the name of the cleanser?
Me: consistently cleanses skin, uses moisturizer with niacinamide, uses clay masks, uses salicylic acid, uses retinoids.
Sebaceous filaments: 👁👄👁
Same here😂😂😂
😢I can relate
Ditto! I find that oil helps to remove them. Once a week or so, I use coconut oil or mineral oil on a cotton ball to wipe them away. It's all I've found to help.
I like benzoyl peroxide cleanser. I would try that maybe instead of the sa
Same. I've been doing the recommended routine for years, no change.
I hate sebaceous filaments. I use cleansing balm and a gentle foaming cleanser and they never go away. I would use acids but my skin is really sensitive. I usually gently pluck them out with a tweezer and then it just leaves large pore holes
what about pha ? can your skin tolerate it ?
Same 😄😮💨
I recommend the COSRX bha black head power liquid it’ll help while still being gentle
I like benzoyl peroxide cleanser. Just leave on a minute and rinse off.
I thought my skin was too sensitive for anything but using SA and BP washes for a short time and washing them off has been awesome. I can now leave on for longer and occasionally not wash it off. Just can’t do multiple days in a row.

Love your videos. Please don’t drive with your purse on your lap - if your airbag deploys, your purse will be propelled into your abdomen.
Please Dr, can you please do a video on what to use on the skin that has white spots on the legs, caused by using whitening products.
Good morning lady superstar 🔥
Happy Sunday!!
As usual great video..
Good morning!
Happy Sunday Dr Dray ❤
Would love to hear your experience with Elemis products and Earth Harbor products. Really appreciate your videos. ❤
I know this has nothing to do with your topic in this video, but I am OBSESSED with your sunglasses! I even stopped the video a third of the way through to search Ray Ban sunglasses to see if I could find them. Alas, that wasn't enough to go on. But I shall keep looking!
Annnd I just realized you have them tagged in your description. LOL. Also, not Ray Ban! LOL
My skin thanks you- always! 💜💜💜
Thanks for watching
just water, works too
For what
dr dray, is using azelaic acid once a day enough? or it must be twice a day ?
I might check her azelaic acid videos.
Another great video Dr Dray Thx. Doesn’t just make your day having a nice clean car inside and out and spelling nice. I’m normally the only one in my car hubby drives his truck. Which that is his responsibility but I do give him scent things lol.
I love it when it is all clean 😊
I have these methods, they haven't gone away and I've had them now for like 3 years,Any other tips?
Maybe I can try a car wash 😜 haha...
I'm sure that everyone loves a clay mask once in a while. 😊❤. Not only there are beneficial for some but also fun treating yourself with something luxurious once in a while 😊❤. Have a great day Doctor Andrea be well 😊✌🙏😇.
I've missed commenting on your YT Dr. Dray. Been watching, just not commenting. Still love it though, since 2016.
I love your videos!!! you read my mind!
I've used the pink clay mask on both my son's t-zone. I just use a tiny bit and it did a great job I rolled it up to save for a later time.
This might be a silly question, but how do you know (with non tinted sunscreen) that you cleansed your face properly from the sunscreen?
Probably by how your skin feels. You can probably also tell by your hairline.
I love drive through car washes. Never gets old.
I am wondering if shaving the area with a little razor is an horrible practice that will make things worse or a good temporary solution like the pore strips 🧐
I just seen my dermatologist two days ago because I had one inside my ear. Thank you so much I wish I would have seen this before I went to him LOL. Thank you Dr. Dray!
Thanks for watching
Dr Dray! Thank you for all you do! I was wondering if you think the niacinamide drops from glow recipe are worth the hype.
Niacinamide is a beneficial ingredient if tolerated
Hi there dear Dr Dray 👋👋❤️👍 Have an awesome 😎 Sunday 😘 thanks for this video
Oooo you applied tret to your neck, do you moisturise before on the neck or after, how often are you using tret on your neck
Happy sunday enjoyed your dr dray all the best 😊 ❤xx
Thank you! You too!
I tried a few bottles of niacinamide from The Ordinary, didn't work at all.
I can squeeze them out every single day. I have no acne at all, I am 58 and have them around and at the nose and on the chin only.
The kind of mild retinols from The Ordinary didn't work either.
Real retinols or tretinion you can't get without prescription in Germany.
Try a Salicylic acid serum, in the morning and evening; Salicylic acid loves oil so it gets pulled into the pores filled with sebum and dries them out, clearing the oil.
Hi, what are your thoughts on SPF mirrors? Do they work? Are they worth it?
Thanks
Have a wonderful day! ❤
Oh boy. This is probably going to fall under UV cameras or possibly UV dots.
Had them ever since puberty. Never knew, you could even do anything about them, since the TH-cam (or systematic skincare, especially outside of official treatment)
wasn't a thing yet, back in the 90s.
I mean, I used to go to a derm as a teen because of acne. Got Benzoyl peroxide cream and that was that.
No education about the importance of moisturizer or sunscreen, not even a hint, that stuff like Salicylic Acid might be helpful...yikes.
I've been using the Cerave Retinol for a while and it has definitely cut down my still persistent oilyness and also improved the enlarged pores on my nose a little...Not sure, if it has an anti aging effect on me, but I had fairly smooth skin, to begin with. Never liked sunbathing, luckily.
Still got (smaller) sebaceous filaments, so I have added an SA toner in the morning.
Gotta be careful though, because if my skin is the slightest bit irritated, sunscreen will start stinging and burning me.
Benzoyl peroxide cleanser worked for my sebaceous filaments
I find that the PC BHA has gotten rid of mine. Just be consistent
Glad to hear this has helped
So what was the product to use
I THOUGHT I DISCOVERED A NEW DISEASE 😂 I had no idea there was a name for this I’m so glad I found this video
I used to love a clay mask. It’s gently exfoliating.
Do you still make shopping videos with your mom?
Happy Sunday everyone enjoy xo
Happy Sunday
Dr. Dray! What is the next best thing to substitute for vaseline for those of us who only purchase cruelty free products??
Some from cruelty free channel/source recommendations are solimo and alba botanica and live clean baby.
I love Alba Botanica un-petroleum jelly. Cruelty free and works great. Finally got rid of my chapped lips using this.
I have oily skin, no acne, I hope to find a good treatment to get rid of the oils!
How does one tell the difference between sebaceous filaments, tiny hairs, or blackheads on your nose? I have huge pores and they always look full of something 😩
You can’t unless you’re a derm 😅 basically they’re treated the same way, so you just wing it. Benzoyl peroxide cleanser worked for me
She goes over this in the recent video, how to get rid of black dots on the nose.
@@db-gb5xi Thank you!!
Or unless if you can actually see the hairs. But if you could see them, you probably wouldn’t ask which one lol…
I couldn’t get through that video on the hairs vs seb filaments since I tend to watch while eating breakfast 😂 but I think the treatments are roughly the same?
Hi dr dray. This is off the topic but does hydroquinone thin out the skin? I’m using hydroquinone 4% alone…
Great music dr dray
I made strips with geltain powder? Helped pull them out but differin helped stop them once I was able to move up to twice a week
I’m on tretinoin every night. I use a salycilic acid cleanser at the moment as tolerated, just bought it. As I’ve been on tret for a year.
I have some of these sebaceous hyperplasia (are they the same thing?) and hopefully they go away in time also blackheads/whiteheads around my chin jaw area
I’m here looking for what you suggest we do and what we should use 😊 have a lovely day.
Thanks for watching ❤
Bio Oil : Is the lactic acid at the end of the ingredients list for hydration or much more pH balancer like citric acid?
I have dry skin and rosacea and I hate these sebaceous filaments.
Benzoyl peroxide cleanser helped mine if you can tolerate it
What is the best creams for red face/rosea?
Haven't watched the vid but simply using a glycolic cleanser every alternate day with moisturizer helps! Especially moisturizer, it really lifts up those dead skin cells and get in between the cells seperating them!
Moisturizer definitely helps ✅
I use Cerve SA cleanser and Paulas Choice SA serum with tinted sunscreen in AM.
In eve I use Albolene and Cerve SA cleanser together and then put on adapalene.
Any Thoughts??
@drdrayzday Thanks for the video! I shared it with my brother in law who has concerns about pores etc on his nose. I’m dying to know what movie you saw and what you thought of it.
I have a white spot on my face. I only see it in up close selfies in certain light. I cant remember if its a sabecous filament or not. Zhe said a laser might work on it. But i havent done it yet.
Hi Dr Dray!!
I have recently used Klairs cleansing oil on my neck (not the first time) and I don't know what it is!? Either allergy/ reaction or purging. There's lots of tiny bump with white dried filaments coming out. It's not itchy and also some small red pimples are also coming out. I went to a derma and she gave me anti-histamine and I took for 4 days now (6 more to go) and it's still there. Can anyone tell what this is? Have anyone of you experienced this.? And yes I have acne on my face especially now in chin area.
All my SFs disappear after a good run or super sweaty cardio workout.
As much as I love Dr. Dray, that is distracted driving right there. I know influencers do this all the time, but people have actually been injured and even died as a result of this.
You never have a conversation while you drive? 🙄
@@Danm2201 People used the same argument when mobile phones first came out. You drive...you must focus on the road. This is what you teach your kids. Accidents while livestreaming is a thing! It's called distracted driving for a reason. Silly we have to wait few more years to collect data to know what should have been obvious from the start.
@@cuteangel7898 So you never have a conversation while you drive then? You drive in total silence all of the time?
I didn’t know we had to use oil cleansers to remove body sunscreen etc
Grateful
@ 6:10 those shades look good on you😎
Could someone put it in a nutshell for me. What products when?
TMI i know but my 1st date changes clothes in carwash with me! I was appalled and he couldnt understand!🤪🤪🤪
Funny movie theatre mural! What movie did you see?
So how do we deal with retained vellus hair?
Dr Dray has a recent video, how to get rid of black dots on the nose.
I have a question, should mosquito repellent be applied after or before sunscreen?
After sunscreen
I have sebaceous hyperplasia. I've been using retin A for over a year and have only seen mild improvement. Is there any type of procedure you can recommend. They are mostly on my forehead. 😔
I just had 23 sebaceous hyperplasia spots zapped by my dermatologist, he used a desiccation device to zap the trapped oil. A few spots needed a second treatment and I think they’re going away now.
Dr Dray has videos and shorts on this and treatments.
@@annedurica2612 dedication device I'll have to research that thank you
Accure 1726nm laser, it blasts the sebaceous glands that produce this shit into oblivion, search for a dermatologist that has it. Or take Roaccutane if you don't mind the side effects.
Uv light works
I know this is way of topic, but the way you use your seat belt in the car is really dangerous if you get in an accident. The lower part of the belt needs to sit on your hip area. Because of the bag in your lap, out have the belt under your breast. In an accident that will cause some enormous trauma to the soft tissue inside your abdomen.
