Two weeks after 1st Treatment

1st Treatment NIGHTMARE!!!

Hey everybody.....so let me fill you in on what happened after my first treatment, lets just say it wasn't a pleasant experience.  The next morning my chin was covered in folliculitis which is inflammation of one or more hair follicles and I had pus filled bumps all over the place.   The problem that I've had my whole life is if I get acne or any type of bump on my skin, I don't even have to bust it and it will leave a dark scar on my skin which is called hyperpigmentation.   I just knew this wasn't gonna be good for me.  At first I tried warm compresses to drain them and then I tried cold compresses to make the swelling go down.  I swear I was at a loss, I didn't know what to do so I did some research and I created a regimen that was a life saver as far as the bumps were concerned.

Twice a day I would was my chin area in Selsun Blue Medicated Shampoo....yes you read it correctly Selsun Blue is the Shiznit!!!  Within three days the bumps were nearly gone away.  I also used aloe vera on my skin to help heal it for the first week.    The second week I stopped using the Selsun Blue because the bumps were almost gone and I didn't want to use too much of it so I started washing my chin in Hibiclens and then moisturizing it with 100% Shea Buttter morning and night to start working on the hyperpigmentation that the folliculitus caused on my skin.

Here are some pics two weeks after my first treatment

NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT HUH?

As you can see how dark my skin has become underneath there but I am still optimistic that as the hair falls out of the damaged follicles a lot of the darkness will go away.   The Shea butter has actually lightened it a lot more than it was.  I'll be going for my next treatment in a couple weeks and I will continue my regimen to fight off the folliculitis.   I was told that by my third treatment all of that 5 o'clock shadow would be gone so we will see. 

Stayed tuned.....I love to have you guys on this journey with me.
