Avatar n tn I have suffered a similar adult acne story as Sean who posted 7th Sept 1999. I am 25 years old Female. I had typical acne from an early age (11 years old) and received Roacutane (same as Accutane I think) when I was 15 years old. It worked a treat but 9months after I had finished treatment the acne returned. Over the years I have been on 3 treatments of Roacutane for about 18months each with the same result about 9 months later.

Avatar m tn Each one grows and stays, not a single one had receeded, at firs they look like normal chest acne, then they grow bigger and bigger, very slowly. Had them for at least 2 years now on chest and back. Face is clear of acne (mostly) the acne is permanent, never receeds, but are never painful, even when squeezed, no itch, nothing, but they are red. there are around 40, small and large, the largest ones are around 1 cm across, mostly symetrical, some are more oval-like. They are also very raised.
Avatar m tn I also suffer from keloid scars on my chest and back because of severe acne in my junior high days. I am wondering if this is just acne acting up again or something more severe. The use of google suggested eczema or scabies. Anyone have an idea of what this could be? (Image attached) http://oi65.tinypic.com/2573kwi.

Avatar f tn As a side note, Ive always had acne on chest and my back, but never on shoulders... Not sure if it was acne, it looked like pimples but wasnt filled with white as normal acne is, my derm said it was dry skin..
Avatar f tn It's just a pregnancy thing. You might be able to try Witch Hazel if it is safe during pregnancy. I always found cocoa butter to help me. Yes, moisturizing can help acne!!! I'll find you some proof if you don't believe me, lol!
Avatar n tn Are you seeing scars from the pimples or pimples? Typically acne scars will fade with time, but that depends on the severity and your skin. If you are having issues with acne, I recommend trying either Proactive or a product called Unblemish by Rodan and Fields- both you can locate by searching Google for them and order them online, I believe.
Avatar n tn I have been getting large pimples over the last year or so. I will have one pop up every 6-8 weeks. Some of them turned into boils, maybe because of me picking at them, I'm not sure. One of them on my lower back became a boil, this was about 2 months ago. After doing some internet searching, one of the websites recommended applying warm compresses to the boils to bring them to a head. When I tried this on my boil, it caused blisters to form all over the surrounding area.
Avatar f tn I suffer from a skin picking disorder and have since a nasty breakout on my arms and shoulders about three years ago. Now I have hyperpigmentation scars on my arms, shoulders, and chest as well as acne, and am working with a dermatologist to limit the visibility of the scars and control the acne. From this I have learned that I scar very, very easily. Recently, I had started pulling the hairs from my shins, another part of the disorder.
Avatar n tn At first, I believed this bumps were hypertrophic acne scars. I thought this because the bumps appear exactly on the same location where I had pimples. The biggest bump I thought was related to a really big pimple I had on my nose 5 years ago. Now, I don't know if the bump was very big at first. I would think if it was big at first I would have noticed it and been conscious of it.
Avatar n tn If not, what else could I do to reduce the appearance of the red marks? The acne is on my chest and is very hard to look at. I live in Florida and it is very hot and I cannot take off my shirt with this look. It seems to not be fading at all. Thanks for your help.
Avatar n tn how do i get rid of acne scars of my face im a black male and finding it hard to find the right thing to use
Avatar f tn t thought nothing more of it except when they were drained/squeezed, the skin would bubble with the oil and eventually turn a brownish gray color and formed a scab like film- nothing I had ever experienced. I also never got acne on my chest before. These spots WOULD NOT go away and I tried multiple acne topical meds such as benzoyl peroxide. When in the shower I noticed that the scab like coverings would start to detach.
Avatar f tn For a couple of months now I have been getting spots on my neck, I don't think its acne however, I am not sure, it is really embaressing as its clearly visible on the skin leaving scars.
Avatar f tn Hi, Acne scarring results when the visible remnants of acne are left on the skin after the acne itself subsides. The best way of treating acne scars is to start early. There are some treatments available for this condition. By using topical treatments prescribed by your dermatologists, such as biological acne scarring treatment where in the old, damaged tissues and scars are replaced by new cells.
Avatar f tn I do scar easily from acne, thats hereditary. I do have acne scars on my chest area, but below by breasts and down my stomach and sides, these random marks appeared on day. They are light brown-redish, dont hurt or itch or bother me physically except the skin is a little dry and coarse. But they wont go away and look terrible, It makes me very self conscious around my boyfriend and myself. Should I go to a dermatologist or will certain lotion/cream make them disappear?

Avatar n tn Hi, about 15 months ago i had a yeast infection on my penis. It left a couple scars so about 3 months ago i started putting mederma on them. I applied the mederma for about 5 weeks before i found out that your not supposed to do that which is when i stopped. The skin began splitting around the area where the mederma was applied (the tip of the penis and the skin directly below it).

10743983 tn?1440210210 Have acne on face, shoulders and chest, and feel as if it won't just heal up? I swear! I am due next Saturday, and I'm pretty positive the acne I've had since the beginning still hasn't cleared up and has only gotten worse? Does anyone else feel this way? It's such a pain in the a.s.s so tired of looking like this! My chin is absolutely horrific... Oy.
20910642 tn?1627445346 Nothing else worked for me, as a result, scars have already formed. 95% of my scars are located on my cheeks and temples. 99% of the scars are "rolling" scars. I'm currently 25 years old and male, and I've been 1.5 years off Accutane and any oral medication for treating acne. My acne is now under control.
