Hydrocortisone Info & Proper Usage Preserving Your HPA Axis Quick Word on Retinoids (see spoiler) My Progress & Testimonials
Hydrocortisone Info:
I have already talked about this in the first thread, but I will repeat it anyways in a concise way:
Hydrocortisone (HC) is a topical corticosteroid (again, no, not the "scary" anabolic/androgenic steroid for any giga high inhibcels) used to treat inflammation, redness, swelling, etc.
One of its side effects is thinning of skin, which is exactly why it is so effective when it comes to shrinking your nose.
Potential Side Effects of 1% Hydrocortisone (uncommon, mild):
- Skin atrophy (1)
- Rosacea-like eruptions (1)
If you experience any of these, take a break or hop off for good.
Proper Usage of Hydrocortisone:
Apply two pea-sized drops of 1% hydrocortisone cream onto your nose and spread evenly around the cartilage, including the bottom of the nose. I recommend you do not go above the tip of the nose and onto the nose bridge, as we do not want skin thinning there, as it can make the dorsa more prominent. Rub the cream in thoroughly, after which, remove any excess HC from around the nose, but do keep a layer of it on the desired area for about five minutes, then take that off as well. After a few minutes, if not straight away, water may start leeching out of the top of your nose, which is technically a good thing, so just keep wiping it off, that should persist to up to 15 minutes. The effects of hydrocortisone should last for up to an entire day.
Hydrocortisone Regimen:
Get your body used to it. First, apply the cream for two weeks straight, once a day, no matter what. Results most likely won't be very significant from the very first time you apply it.
After that is done, only apply it when you need your nose to shrink, such as when you're going out.
Hydrocortisone's Effects on Your HPA Axis:
If you want to know exactly what you HPA axis is, go look it up. In short terms, it is a system of glands that regulates your stress response and involves the following organs:
Some people have asked me things along the lines of "but xnj, what about you HPA axis, won't that get fucked with while you're on it?".
So here is the answer to this question:
Hydrocortisone raises cortisol. However, one may think that it does not do it to an extent, especially in such low, almost negligible dosages, where it has some sort of effect on the rest of your body, right? Wrong. After prolonged use, your body will feel the slight change and will adapt to it, potentially causing you a bit of trouble.
Preserving Your HPA Axis:Since HC raises your cortisol, we need something that lowers it. Here is where Ashwagandha comes into play. You know how people claim it has "testosterone-boosting" effects? Well that is the case because it lowers your cortisol (which is what can stagnate test production, hence the claims).
Take 500-800mg (depending on your brand's dosage per pill) right before you apply the cream. You can keep doing that for about 8 weeks, after which I suggest you take a 4-week break from ashwagandha, whilst also slightly lowering your HC usage. After that, you can resume just as usual.
Since I've mentioned it in my first thread, I will not be giving any in-depth advice on retinoids in this thread, as all you need to do to make your nose shrink from them, is follow their usual regimens. All I'm going to say is that it does shrink the nose in most cases, however not all skin complexions/conditions are predisposed to said shrinkage. But whether to use it or not - is up to you. Take a dermatologist's advice, or at the very least, find reputable threads here if you do want to use it (I'm on about general usage btw, not exclusively for the nose).

...and there's more but honestly I think that's enough for skepticcels

Please reply @Sadist
-iv been using hydro for almost 10 months now (i have switched to a more potent version aka betametasone)
its worth it trust
Got it man thanks
Did u use ashwagandha or anything other than that
nope nothing at all
np dawg
sexmaxing surprisinglyWhat's the 1st most repped post then?
yes? the bottom layer absorbs almost immediately, as you rub it in - so the top just gradually absorbs into the skin throughout that time as an extra. why’d u want more if that’s borderline excessive (but in our case, beneficial) already?
aint it just retinoids as well?
nigger did not read a MOLECULE of the thread
its usually bullshit. but with dermatitis, ngl there will only be two outcomes - it either helps you or rapes your skin. do your research AND monitor every single application even if research indicates that it’s ok for you to use.
nah, as i said. the reason for the 2w period is literally to just ensure consistency so that you make sure you use it ED and get used to it. the afterward @whenever-u-want” application pattern could be anywhere from once a week (although tbh at earlier stages i’d still recommend more frequent that that, probably) to literally multiple times a day.
nah, it’s mostly fine to use ED.
any time you use it, 5-15min yeah.
not really, unless you notice some bs with your cortisol.
this one you mean!

but in short (and updated), use it every day consistently for 2 weeks; afterwards - literally whenever you want. rub it on thoroughly as a big lauer, and then keep for 5-15min, after which - wipe off.

i unironically did not see any of these new replies jfl
Clobetasol is stronger than hydrocortisone by 20x or more
does not mean it’s necessary for it to be stronger for this purpose
By no means is this medical advice. Even though the risks are relatively low, everyone is different and some people may respond to this differently than others (although as I said, the majority should be fine).
"Wait, have you had a nose job?",
two girls that I met at a casino asked me as I got talking to them.
I was very pleasantly surprised to hear that because, although I knew that this method works, I did not realize, until then, just how much my nose has ascended thanks to it.
Hence,
I present to you, by far, one of the most underrated looksmaxes on this forum.
The reason why I'm making an updated version is not only due to what I've said above, but also because I have learned a lot more on this topic since I've made the original thread.

Hydrocortisone Info & Proper Usage Preserving Your HPA Axis Quick Word on Retinoids (see spoiler) My Progress & Testimonials
Hydrocortisone Info:
I have already talked about this in the first thread, but I will repeat it anyways in a concise way:
Hydrocortisone (HC) is a topical corticosteroid (again, no, not the "scary" anabolic/androgenic steroid for any giga high inhibcels) used to treat inflammation, redness, swelling, etc.
One of its side effects is thinning of skin, which is exactly why it is so effective when it comes to shrinking your nose.
Potential Side Effects of 1% Hydrocortisone (uncommon, mild):
- Skin atrophy (1)
- Rosacea-like eruptions (1)
If you experience any of these, take a break or hop off for good.
Proper Usage of Hydrocortisone:
Apply two pea-sized drops of 1% hydrocortisone cream onto your nose and spread evenly around the cartilage, including the bottom of the nose. I recommend you do not go above the tip of the nose and onto the nose bridge, as we do not want skin thinning there, as it can make the dorsa more prominent. Rub the cream in thoroughly, after which, remove any excess HC from around the nose, but do keep a layer of it on the desired area for about five minutes, then take that off as well. After a few minutes, if not straight away, water may start leeching out of the top of your nose, which is technically a good thing, so just keep wiping it off, that should persist to up to 15 minutes. The effects of hydrocortisone should last for up to an entire day.
Hydrocortisone Regimen:
Get your body used to it. First, apply the cream for two weeks straight, once a day, no matter what. Results most likely won't be very significant from the very first time you apply it.
After that is done, only apply it when you need your nose to shrink, such as when you're going out.
Hydrocortisone's Effects on Your HPA Axis:
If you want to know exactly what you HPA axis is, go look it up. In short terms, it is a system of glands that regulates your stress response and involves the following organs:
Some people have asked me things along the lines of "but xnj, what about you HPA axis, won't that get fucked with while you're on it?".
So here is the answer to this question:
Hydrocortisone raises cortisol. However, one may think that it does not do it to an extent, especially in such low, almost negligible dosages, where it has some sort of effect on the rest of your body, right? Wrong. After prolonged use, your body will feel the slight change and will adapt to it, potentially causing you a bit of trouble.
Preserving Your HPA Axis:Since HC raises your cortisol, we need something that lowers it. Here is where Ashwagandha comes into play. You know how people claim it has "testosterone-boosting" effects? Well that is the case because it lowers your cortisol (which is what can stagnate test production, hence the claims).
Take 500-800mg (depending on your brand's dosage per pill) right before you apply the cream. You can keep doing that for about 8 weeks, after which I suggest you take a 4-week break from ashwagandha, whilst also slightly lowering your HC usage. After that, you can resume just as usual.
Since I've mentioned it in my first thread, I will not be giving any in-depth advice on retinoids in this thread, as all you need to do to make your nose shrink from them, is follow their usual regimens. All I'm going to say is that it does shrink the nose in most cases, however not all skin complexions/conditions are predisposed to said shrinkage. But whether to use it or not - is up to you. Take a dermatologist's advice, or at the very least, find reputable threads here if you do want to use it (I'm on about general usage btw, not exclusively for the nose).

Will the topical tretinoin have the same effect if I apply it on the either sides of my nose??
just use tret all over ur face ngl
rust readmax the thread and see that it's mentioned there
