How to get rid of the super reddness and dryness from benzaclin?
My derma. prescribed me benzaclin and I have been using it on my moderate acne for almost 2 weeks. My acne is almost gone, but my face is super red like Ive been in the sun for days. Also my skin is super dry. How do I get rid of this? I skipped the morning treatment cuz it burned so bad, and I put a moisturizer on several times throughout the day.
Best prescription acne treatment?
I've been using benzaclin for years, I know its supposed to be one of the best products but in the past 6-7 months it's been getting less and less effective for me.
I have an appointment with a dermatologist next Friday and I'm wondering if there's any prescription acne meds I should ask him about.
how do i get rid of these horrible blackheads?
have a bunch of horrible blackheads on my face back and chest. i don't really get pimples and when i do they're small. but these blackheads are really bad. i'm 12 but thank god no one really notices them. there are tons on my forehead, nose, chest, and back. i don't know what to do. i've tried so many things:
clearasil acne treatment cream with 10% benzoyl peroxide
clearasil acne pads with sacyclic acid
noxzema
aveeno clear compexion face wash
aceeno skin brightening scrub
st. ives apricot scrub
biore pore strips
neutrogena pink grapefruit scrub
even home remedies like:
yogurt for 20 mintues
massaging olive oil into my face
lemon juice
onions
patting tomatoes on my face
even mixing salt and water together and patting that on my face
and using toothpaste
None of these really worked! now i'm just using dial soap and some of my brother's perscribed benzaclin gel. its seems to work but i'm waiting to go to the dermatologist myself. my mom always forgets to make the appoinment though so i don't see it happening soon :/ i've had this since i turned 9 and almost nothing has worked! don't give me any home remedies or expensive products like Murad or proactiv or those home remedies like toothpaste please. just products you're sure that are absolutely garunteed to work but aren't expensive. i'll use something within the range of 10-15 dollars or less nothing higher cause i don't get much of an allowance anyways.
no links plz because they are slow when i try to open them on my computer.
i do pop them but they always seemed to get worse while i did that so now i just leave them alone...
Will washing my bras more often help with my chest and back acne?
I generally wash them after a few uses and I've always had terrible acne on my chest/back, will this help do you think?
Do you know of any other solutions to my acne? I currently don't use anything, I used to use benzaclin but it never did much.
oily face…. cleansers/moisturizers tips etc.?
so my face used to be bad. like i used to get zits and pimples all the time.
and then i went to the dermatologist and i got benzaclin and something else that i cant think of the name right now... it is really popular and it is an acne spot treatment. (ugh dont you hate it when the name is there but you cant think of it...)
anyway and i was given pills to take. (which i never really took so my parents stopped taking me to the dermatologist)
anyway... i stuck with that treatment and they told me to use cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer which i use.
and my face looked 100% better.
well now my face is starting to look oily and i got a few zits the other day. what can i do!!!???
thanks.
the medicine was temporary. to flush the bacteria out of your body.
Does acne get worse before it gets better ?
i am starting to use benzaclin in the morning and differin in the evening ! i have a lot of blackheads on the right side of my face only and it seems whenever my face starts to level, more pimples come !!
does acne really do get worse before it gets better ?
