55 DoctorsAnika Iyer, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Anika Iyer, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always been self-conscious about her skin. Growing up in Chennai, she was accustomed to a warm climate, but moving to Boston for work triggered persistent facial redness and small, pus-filled bumps on her cheeks and nose. For years, she tried over-the-counter creams and avoided spicy food, but flare-ups worsened with stress and during client presentations. Her dermatologist, Dr. Evans, diagnosed her with papulopustular rosacea. He recommended a combination approach: a daily gentle skincare routine, prescription topical ivermectin cream, and a series of three IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser treatments to target the visible blood vessels and background redness. Anika was nervous before her first IPL session, describing a quick, rubber-band-snap sensation with each pulse. Over the following weeks, she diligently applied her cream and noticed a gradual reduction in active bumps. After completing her laser course, the diffuse redness had faded significantly, leaving her skin more even-toned. Emotionally, Anika moved from feeling embarrassed and constantly trying to cover her face with makeup to a place of quiet confidence. She no longer felt her skin was the first thing people noticed, allowing her to focus on her work and social interactions without that underlying anxiety.
