Common Questions and Answers about Acne skin infection
skin
I went to my pharmacist, who told me to go to the emergency room where I was given oral antibiotics for a skin infection. I later called my doctor, who said it had been listed as impetigo.
Everything was fine, but then about six months later it happened again. My mother pointed out that my chin had turned red, and the next day the little spots were back.
One type of staph infection leading to acne is folliculitis, which creates clusters of acne on the skin. It is important to know and confirm whether your acne is due to staph in order to address the infection before it gets worse. Any infection caused by staphylococcus bacteria can be considered as a serious infection that can appear anywhere on the body. It should be treated as early as possible.
You will need topical and may be oral antibiotics.
So I know about baby acne being on the face but I gave him a bath today nd its all over his body. Is that possible nd wat can I do to clear it up?
So if I was you, I would discuss the risks of exacerbating your breakout with your dermatologist who should instruct you to refrain from using products designed for acne vulgaris (as most skin professionals concur with it doing more harm than good if it's Malassezia responsible and NOT bacteria). You're at a greater advantage than me as my GP won't even ACKNOWLEDGE that acne can be caused by yeast and not just bacteria!!
Hi, I can't go to the student health center until tomorrow and I need some urgent advice. I've had this acne type infection on my chin for a year. I've been to the campus dermatologist once and the nurse twice and have been taking doxy antibiotics and using different topical antibiotic creams but last night an entire huge growth came out and I'm really freaked out about what to do.
Hi, welcome to the forum, some causes for itchy bumps are folliculitis, fungal infection, acne or allergy.
Acne usually develops due to increased sebum production. You should wash your face using a mild skin cleanser and warm (not hot) water. Skin cleansers should be slightly acidic and intended for the face (rather than the body).
It needs to be differentiated from infectious folliculitis (secondary to infection) as skin is enriched with hair follicles.
is she oily? to much skin oils being let out of the skin cause acne, to avoid that sometimes its best to stay away from foods that cause tyhe skin to release oil like fish, the omega3 does it. other people have dry flakey skin cause they dont get their bodies to produce enough oils, in that case just buy some omega3 pills at the pharmacy. taste like vanilla, pills kinda big need to be taken with food, but no side affects..
Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a skin disease caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in noninflammatory forms.
Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots, or zits.Exactly why some people get acne and some do not is not fully known. It is known to be partly hereditary.
My exposure was nearly four months ago, I kissed the girl deeply many times open, and repeatedly licked her nipples and other parts of her body which has Acne specifically on her back. I haven't licked her vagina or insert my tongue in it. I have inserted my finger in her vagina and it was wet with her vaginal liquids and i believe my finger had wounds due to always eating the skin around the nails (bad habit).
I never had problems with acne or pimples always had clear even skin. Now I'm getting discoloration an acne an I'm going crazy. Any ladies experiencing this? Any suggestions?
next sometimes along with smelly discharge I get an itchy feeling down there sorry if tmi but any one experiencing some of the same things?
Alright, so I have always had a fair amount of backne. It gets worse and it gets better every month or so. Sometimes I have none, others I have huge bumps that are typically under the skin and never the typical white head. Anyway my two questions are 1) Any idea why I have backne and not so much other acne? Something I eat? Hair products I use? I've been told many a thing..
Folliculitis is a skin infection involving the hair follicles. This infection is caused by a bacterial infection. This skin condition is contagious and it is necessary that you treat them early on. Another differential is a razor burn. If you shave the area frequently then you may be getting razor burns caused by the hairs as they grow. This would cause burns on the area much like acne. Another consideration is a fungal infection of the folliculitis type.
ive got them from the head to toe but not in big patches....it looks like acne a bit...and they itch now and then quite badly!...the most where they occur is just behind the hair under the hair lining and my shoulder and my bum basically...where do they come from?....
Also ive notice where the spots grow its like if the hair hormone is blocked and its just starts building puss....i guess...
pls help.....
Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle.Treatment includes antibiotics and pls do not touch or pick them up.
Second possibility is of acne.Caused by blockage of the pores of the skin due to excess sebum production or dandruff.
Third possibility is of sebaceous cyst.
As you have been using a razor this has aggravated the skin and it possibly could be folliculitis (infection of the hair follicles).
Make an appointment with your doctor to diagnose your condition. If he feels it is folliculitis, you will be prescribed with a course of antibiotics.
When you shave, shave downwards in the direction that the hair grows. Use gentle non perfumed soaps to wash your skin and gently pat dry with a towel.
Best wishes.

So I've never really had acne problems before. I scar really easy, so I try to be careful when I do get any kind of acne or skin problem. Just recently, I've notice these..."pimple" like things. They're had to describe, alls i know is that they've turned into "holes" in my skin. It's embarassing, but there is quite a few. I have one on my breast, like three on my shoulder, and more on my butt.
The small deep hole as in your shoulder skin or back can be a sinus tract that usually develops in response to a deep-seated skin infection or acne. It is an abnormal channel in the body that opens into the environment on one end. A sinus tract typically leads from a focus of infection in deeper tissues to the skin surface. It may even discharge pus/ fluid on the skin surface.
Resembling sinus-tracts are ice pick scars that are atrophic scars remaining after acne.
If doxycyline helped your skin condition it is likely to be bacterial, rather than a food allergy. Oral antibiotics do not 'cure' acne, they supress it whilst the patient is taking the tablets. Since most people only experience acne for a brief period during puberty this is usually sufficient as the remaining bacteria will die or be killed by the immune system.
If your tendancy for acne continues repeat courses of medication may be indicated.
