I have bad acne on my chest.?
I worked in Kuwait for a while. And now I have this horrible breakout on my chest. The Dermo say's it cysts and blackheads that are on my chest. I have tried everything. Does any one have any ideas? I at the point to where I want to get some to just scrap all theses off my chest. It looks horrible
How severe is my acne? Am I doing enough?
I have blackheads all over my nose always. I get an occasional cyst (one or 2 a month) on my chin area. I have a few whiteheads always on my forehead. I get pustules in random places on my face. Normaly at one time I have no more than 3 pustiles or cysts at one time.
All I do is wash my face twice a day with a salacylic acid solution. Is this enough? If not what else should i be doing?
still breaking out while on accutane?
U guys im so pissed, i've been on accutane for 5 monthes, and im starting my sixth month now but i still get huge red bumps on my skin that will turn into cysts, so im wondering, does it usually get bad in the end? and do all the blackheads go away or should i get a facial? plus can i use acne spot treatments for the huge red bumps so that they don't turn into cysts?
also, i am wondering howlong its gonna take for the red marks to disappear, cuz im in milwaukee and there is no such thing as a sun, so i get pale and uneven skin tone.
HELP!!!
btw, i use neutrogena stress free cleanser, and olay oil free moisturizer, i cleanse iin the morning and evening. so i take care of my skin.
I started out with 20 mg capsule one in mornin and one in evening (adds up to 40mg) then for the 2nd to 5th month i have been on 30 mg twice a day (60mg). Im turnin 21 in july so does age play into any of this. I am aware of all the obvious side effects so no need to lecture me, cuz this was a last resort i suffered long enough. I can see better skin definatley, my bak cleared up, and my skin doesnt have breakouts except on my cheeks. which was my major problem.
another thing :P when the cysts dry up after a couple of days they do pop by themselves i i guess its a natural procedure right? plus no one answered my question about the acne spot treatments... u know those little tubes that u put a dab on ur pimple..
Cystic acne treatment?!!?
I've had severe pimples and white heads the last year and a half. They all vanished, but now I get cystic acne! I've been to the dermatologist many times for shots, medication, and consultation. He strongly recommended accutane, but my family doesn't have insurance. I've had laser treatment done along with high dosage shots in korea, this helped my cysts a lot. But the korean derm. also said it was odd that my skin isn't perfectly clear (apparently it was suppose to be after all the treatment). The medication he gave me made me sweat so much, like sweat even when I;m not hot. This made school life impossible, so I quit that after 2&half month of using. Through the last three months of laser/shots/medicine, my cysts went down a lot.
Now they're coming back up and are getting redder! I read on the internet that cysts are suppose to hurt on touch, but mine has no feeling. They just feel like a bump on my skin that occasionally gets itchy. I don't scratch or pick at it, but they just won't go away. They're all in my side jaw areas, a few black spots have already formed. When I got a cyst next to my eye, it cleared up in a few weeks. But the ones next to my jaws seem like they're been there for over a year. Is there any meds that help clear up cystic acne?! Home remedies that work?!
I've tried Benzol cycline (I think thats what it's called)
I still wash my face with Benzol Peroxide (10%) couple times a day
I don't eat greasy foods, I eat mainly vegetables and rice.
I take 1 a day teen advantage, zinc, and Vitamin A every day.
I've tried putting tomato pulp on my face, apple cider vinegar too.
Help!
Panoxyl Foaming Acne Wash makes my face red and peel a little?
I have been using Panoxyl for about 3 days now, and while I know it is a little early to tell, the morning after my face was very red, very dry, very tight, (it did not go away all day) and i had a lot of new acne on my foreheard, and a couple of painful cysts on my cheeks (after using Panoxyl foaming acne wash and panoxyl acne treatment foam). I also began to peel a little bit around my mouth and eyes. I do use a moisturizer and spot treatment. Should I stop using this?
