Hello Dr. Alexis. Is a salicylic acid wash a sufficient exfoliant, or do we need to use something stronger like PHA? If it isn’t strong enough, could I use the salicylic acid wash (eg the one from Cereve) just before shaving?

[@alysafleisher]

So glad you mentioned pustules. I have them hormonally every single month for close to 40 years now. I mentioned it to my gynecologist but couldn't seem to get any answer and yes it seems really weird to explain that I have pubic acne, but no one seems to help me still. I had a gynecologic surgery recently and I again begged the doctor if there was something that could be done with one I have had for more than a year. She said yes she would, but then she did nothing again. Sometimes they take years to go away, and it's not even where I need to shave.

after removing the hang nails, i’ve used jojoba oil on the affected areas, nails, and cuticles. when i didn’t have jojoba oil on hand, i just used vaseline. i don’t know if that will help you or not. great if it does, sorry if it doesn’t.

Make sure you dont handle your scalp at least 3 to 5 days prior to relaxing. No scratching. Only patting if you must. It may look funny but it helps.The longer the better. The 3 to 5 days is safe range but i push for 5 to 7 days. I also wash my hair at least 7 to 10 day before relaxing with a cleansing shampoo and moisturizing conditioner. Also base your scalp before relaxing about a week before with coconut oil. Hope it helps.
