Doktr told me the procedure was a success, that everything is perfectly straight and visible all the way through to the tip. However, I still experience congestion on one side whenever I lie down.🙂
It’s absurd. I pulled out a piece of dried mucus and realized there's actually a hole between the septum; when I block one nostril, air flows right through to the other.🙂 🙂

Dr. Boduen assured me the procedure was a success, noting everything looks perfectly straight even deep inside. However, I still find one side getting congested whenever I lie down 🙂
I have an upcoming surgery scheduled in a few weeks to address a deviated septum and some chronic allergies. I'm curious if anyone here has undergone a similar procedure—what was the recovery process like, did you encounter any complications, and how long was your hospital stay?
Currently, my nasal congestion becomes quite severe the moment I lie down, and unfortunately, standard over-the-counter sprays and drops haven't provided much relief.
I just had a consultation with my dermatologist, and they’re convinced these are almost certainly acne scars. I’ve scheduled a follow-up for next month, so we'll see how things progress...
Does anyone know of an effective treatment or method to actually get rid of these scars?
So, I need 3% salicylic acid and Nizoral 2% shampoo.☕ Does anyone happen to know the current market price for these two items?😉
A bit more context:
Tinea versicolor This is a common, chronic, non-inflammatory, superficial infection caused by yeast—variously known as Pityrosporum orbiculare, Pityrosporum ovale, or Malassezia. It is quite prevalent in high-humidity environments (like tropical climates) and affects roughly 40% of the population. The fungus responsible is part of the skin's normal flora; symptoms emerge when the fungal population increases or changes form due to favorable conditions within the host. Predisposing factors include:
Genetic susceptibility High humidity or excessive sweating Increased sebum production (oily skin) Chronic illnesses Immunocompromised states Cushing's syndrome or long-term glucocorticoid use Overuse of oils Pregnancy Clinically, it presents as asymptomatic, hypo- and/or hyperpigmented small patches with fine scaling that becomes visible upon rubbing. Common areas affected include the upper torso, shoulders, neck, armpits, face, and thighs.
Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and the distribution of the patches. Occasionally, it can be difficult to distinguish from Pityriasis Alba (dry, white spots), early vitiligo, idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis, or post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. If there is any doubt, a KOH test should be performed.
Treatment: Common antifungal agents used include
2.5% Selenium sulfide Topical azoles such as clotrimazole or ketoconazole Oral medications such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, or fluconazole Treatment typically lasts three weeks. Regaining pigmentation can take several months. Recurrences are frequent and require retreatment with the same medications.
I’ve been dealing with these white spots on my back for about five years now. It seems to have started around age 17 during puberty; since then, I’ve basically avoided the sun and always wear a shirt, which has left me quite pale compared to my original skin tone. Now, however, the spots are starting to spread to my chest. They aren't pimples—you can't squeeze them—just tiny little white dots. I have a theory that it might be lifestyle-related, though I don't smoke or drink, and my weight is stable. Perhaps it's just oily hair rubbing off on my back. 🤷 There is no itching involved, and I haven't consulted a doctor yet. ☕ http://ultraphoto.org/viewer.php?fil...5cthved7tx.jpg I would appreciate any insight into what this condition might be called and how it is typically treated. 👍 edit Despite my research, I haven't found anything that matches this description.
