garlic smell on chest have to do with acne?
hi, just these last 2 or 3 days ive been noticing a garlic like smell between my breasts. im wondering if this has anything to do with acne, since ive been taking benzaclin on my face and its clearing up there, and im wondering if the smell is just the acne going someplace else (my chest)? i also have some cystic acne where the garlic smell is, if that may help any.
if not anything to do with acne, any solutions at all would be great. thank you!!!
Infection…face…pimples..ouch..help?
Everyone tells me I have a cute modelesque face but it has quite many impurities like pimples or random skin colored bumps and acne scars. On both of my cheeks I have an infection which I am taking prescribed antibiotics already. What can I do to subside the pain from those pimples bunched in together on my cheeks? They are red, irritated and my face is dry and oily...mostly dry...If i dont do anything they grow into more painful ones thats why I sometimes squeeze out the puss and white stuff out of them before they mutate into little scary monsters. There are many pimples in certain places on my face. Some other places are absolutely clear and pretty and shiny just perfect. But others are soooo ewww...How do I treat this fast? Ive been having pimples since I was 12 and i am 17 now. I am disgusted with myself. I want to clear out my face. Ive done some steaming with cammomille before but it doesn't really work. OH please, give me some idea of what I could do. Every night I wear benzaclin which is benzoyl peroxide on my pimples to get rid of them..It worked at first but now it doesn't. Ive done some yogurt honey healing masks but the redness on my scars and pimples is so persistent. School is in two days...and that really sucks because I have a crush. He has the most perfect skin Ive ever seen and he likes me too..but he only sees me in the cozy nice lighting of the school classrooms and hallways where the light hides my spots. I wear dermatological make up that covers my pimples up and makes it pretty.BUt please...any ideas what treatment I should do// at HOME..like....a steam...a soothing face mask for dry, pimply scarred skin?
Nothing I do gets rid of my acne. How can I control it?
I have never had a problem with acne before, but recently, it became extremely bad, especially on the sides of my face. I don't get deep acne, but rather, hundreds of little whiteheads. And every day, I seem to get more and more. I also think I am beginning to get acne scars on the sides of my face.
I cannot figure out why I'm suddenly having such horrible acne. My mom thinks it's because I wear liquid cover up every day and she says that all liquid cover ups clog your pores. Is this true? Do you think if I stopped wearing liquid cover up, my acne might reduce? I'm also a teen, and my hormones, I know, are out of control right now. (Having a lot of "girl" problems because of hormones too.)
I don't know what to do. I've tried many acne treatments. No over the counter treatments (Clearasil, Proactive, etc) work for me. Then I tried Differin. I had a horrible reaction which resulted in me spending half the night with my face under the faucet. I'm now using Benzaclin, which mildly reduces my acne but not nearly as much as it should.
Should I see a dermatologist? The only thing is, I don't know what they can do to help me.... Because I've already tried almost every acne treatment. My doctor said that a dermatologist could prescribe be antibiotics for acne, but it might cause yeast infections and there's NO WAY I am taking that chance. She also suggested birth control, however, my mom won't let me go on it, and I understand, because I have read about birth control being linked to cancer.
Please help!!
