Do facials work to relieve acne?
I've had acne for about 2 years now and its starting to get worse. When my acne first started, I barely had one or two pimples and some blackheads whenever it was that time of the month. Even now, I hardly get pimples, I constantly have blackheads, whiteheads, and redness in my T-zone. One of my friends referred me to a day spa that does facials for acne (supposedly, they cleared her daughter's severe acne), but the thing is that she works there also. I am also currently seeing a dermatologist, but she can't seem to find the right treatment. I was on Tazorac cream and Metrocream (which worked) but the Tazorac completely dries my face out to the point where even washing my face burns and I have to discontinue it for a period of time, making my acne worse. So, I was just wondering, do facials really work and what exactly does a facial consist of? And does anyone have any other remedies?
How can I treat Acne Scars?
Hello everyone, I just have some questions about my acne, acne scars, and the current treatment I am on.
I have been taking Solodyn for about a month now, with little improvement, perhaps it has gotten worse. I have been taking this with Tazorac gel (much stronger than the creme, burns my skin off if I use too much) in the mornings, and Duac at night. With all this, I have had little to no lucks, and as I said, it might have gotten worse.
I am also using Tea Tree Oil periodically, which I bought on my own, which is probably the most effective of everything. Go figure.
Anyways, I have these 3 very visible acne scars on my nose. They are a purplish color. I am not the type of person to even care about acne or scars, but when on the nose they are so visible that I really need to do stuff about it.
Now here come the questions...
A) I am still applying everything to the scars, should I stop?
B) What would be a good way to get rid of these acne scars?
Thank you!
How to treat my acne?
I am a 19 year old female. I really dont know what my "adult" face looks like with out it, and lately I have kind of been in despair . I started acne right at the beginning of the 6th grade before everyone else did and it progressively got worse. I tried, clearisil, oxy, pro active, acne free, neutrogena, witch hazel and other natural cures, cetaphil, tazorac(of many strengths), retin a (of many strengths). I also did all the oral/ topical antibiotics. None of that worked, I was then 16 my acne was severe and I had cystic nodular acne I went on acutane which worked sort of. My acne slowly started creeping back, but no more cysts. I went back to the derm and they said it was odd, they prescribed me duac. It didnt work, now I am on Altretin and Aczone which made me break out HORRENDOUSLY! (i didnt stop using it btw just in case it was a herx reaction but it wasnt) It's so frustrating and depressing. On top of that I'm losing my health insurance so I can't go on acutane again, I have one more trip to the derm, so one more perscription chance. I dont want to do birth control, and I dont really think my hormones have to do with my acne(neither does my derm). I also do drink tons of water. I cleanse my face, moisturize, and exofoliate regulary but I dont over cleanse either Do you think cutting dairy will help? Its the one thing I havent tried, any ideas or awesome products?
The only things I havent tried are Azelex,Spironolactone/Aldactone any successes with them? Please please some one help!
