adult acne itchy

Can anyone recommend an acne treatment for those cystic acne bumps that take forever to go away? I'm 46 and did Accutane in my 20s with pretty good results until the last several years. I've had the most success with Pro Active, but my skin got really itchy when I wore mineral powder makeup and I kept ruining towels, pillowcases and shirts. I've also tried Acne Free, Murad and Dermatologic plus prescription cream with no luck.

I am 25 years old, have suffered form adult acne since i was about 14 and had been experiencing lower abdominal pain on my left side for several years. In the last couple of years, I started experiencing hot flashes accompanied by moderate-severe anxiety and depression. Just as an aside, I studied psychology for several years and have earned, not only my bachelors in psych, but also several certifications and honors surrounding my degree ( I start my masters in a couple of months!).

Moreover, two of my church friends have a very similar condition. My sister, who is an ultrasound tech, has suggested adult acne, with the assurance it meets the symptoms—I don’t see it! What can it be?

The ketoconazole burned my skin and didnt help, and the zinc soap does not help much either. I came back to her and she confirmed it is adult acne and some kind of dermatitis which cannot be cured. Dermatologist told me to try vegetarian diet and drink a lot of water, cut out carbs, sugar, diary. But this did not help. She tell me isotretinoin will most likely help my skin but the side effects are too dangerous so she is refusing to prescribe.

Through your description, it sounds like you have adult cystic acne, many times this is caused by a hormonal imbalance. It doesn't surprise me that steriods helped clear up some of the acne, but returned when the prescription ran out. Also, your body will build up a tolerance to steriods if you use them too much. Rather than treating the symptoms, treat the cause. Have you had blood work done recently to make sure all your levels are okay?

I am a 25 year old female who suffers from adult acne. About a year ago, I developed a RASH on my chest that is similar looking to acne in that it has red spots with tiny, very superficial white heads. Since this was the first rash breakout I mistook it for acne and used an acne spot treatment (benzyl peroxide 2.5%) The next morning my skin was itchy and extremely irritated, and I realized it was a rash and not pimples and the benzyl peroxide irritated it a lot.

It seems to spread quicker if the heads pop, but spreads regardless. I have had this before. I use to get it regularly and believed I had adult acne. But it has been a very long time since I have had it but seems to have some sort of relation to the hiking trip I took. I have been told its an allergic reaction to sugar? Which I do eat more sugar when hiking. But I am thinking this might be an allergic reaction to something else, maybe the sunscreen, the sun, heat?

s getting to the point where I really need help, because it affects my self-esteem. I think it is adult acne and rosacea, but not sure. I was hoping somebody could tell me what it is and if this could be treated with laser and if the insurance would likely pay for it (united). I don't like the idea of taking antibiotics over a long term. Thanks a lot.

Rosacea also causes the appearance of small blood vessels, or telangiectasias, on the face; adult acne; itchy, burning eyes; and in the late stages, a red, bulbous nose. The red, burning face can occur unpredictably or in response to certain triggers. The most common triggers of facial flushing in order are: Sun Exposure,Emotional Stress, Hot Weather, Alcohol, Spicy Foods, Exercise,Wind etc. The most effective treatment of facial flushing today is avoiding triggers.

Hello, For premature acne, if the acne is protected from the sunlight and sometimes an antioxidant treatment if applied in the initial stage to cure the lesions of acne then it can be cured at the beginning. Then medical treatment is the same as adult acne i.e initially benzoyl peroxide and topical antibiotics are used. But they are to be used under medical supervision and not one one’s own.

I get a diagnosis of, eczema, adult acne, peridontal syndrome, etc. I really need to know what is wrong with me. I have been to two different skin doctors and nobody knows what is going on with my skin. Personally, I feel that it is something to do with my immune system and I can't anyone to listen to me. Help!!!

Have you sought the assistance of a dermatologist for any prescription medications, either topical or oral? If you're able to visit a dermatologist, that should be your first step. Also a licensed aesthetician will treat your skin and teach you about good skin care. You should look to support your internal health, too. Drinking plenty of water will help to keep your pores clean from the inside out, help eliminate toxins, and keep your skin moisturized.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about this. Skin problems are so emotional in nature too because of how we all are about our appearance. But you are not alone. When the health crisis blows over, seeing a dermatologist may be of benefit to you. They do have things they can prescribe. Retin-A is one of them. Some women also have success going on birth control pills when they have adult acne. Make sure your make up isn't contributing to the issue as well.

Hi! I am hoping someone can help me figure it out or if somebody has the same issue... i am in my mid 30's married mom to 2 young girls - had few to moderate issue w/ acne during my teenage years (got better after mid 20's). Here it goes, I noticed this event everytime i attempt to exfoliate my face with heavier alternative (aha/glycolic acid peel/ etc) - i am attempting to have a supple, youthful, even tone skin and lessen wrinkle appearance.

Perioral dermatitis is a common facial skin problem in adult women but may also occur in men and children. Groups of itchy or tender small red papules appear most often around the mouth and often the skin around the nose and the eyes.Treatment should depend on the severity and extension of the disease. Usually, anti-inflammatory systemic or topical therapy is required.

I know the feeling. It's very irritating. Something similar happened to me. I had an outbreak of an very itchy rash on my forearms,wrists, stomach, and legs, and some places on my back. I don't know where it came from. I thought it could have been from New detergents or coming into contact with poison oak, but that wasn't the case. No matter what remedy I tried, it did not worth.

Hello, I have had a strong craving for salt for many years now. Close to seven years. I eat salt by itself everyday I feel like I need it. If I get to feeling really tired or weak I eat salt and I perk up. I also have bad adult acne, and I never really had acne as a teenager. I'm not sure if these two things are anywhere near related to each other, but if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.

At that time, I had some back acne, one big popped acne on my chest, and recently paper cut not deep. Is there any risk for me what if the person had cut on her hands, or vaginal fluid that direct contact with my broken skin? Can HIV virus survive in salt solution (warm), or chocolate medium? 5. A week later, I went to see a doctor in Cairo cause I developed rashes, and itchy at my arms. The doctor said maybe insect bites. And don't have to worry if I didn't have sex with the girl. 6.

I am glad I was able to find a free blog. I need some advice. I am starting to worry about my body acne. I don't have body acne when I was in my hometown until I went abroad. I had a couple of unsafe sex but I never been too active on it. I started to observe that I'm getting body acne specially on my chest, back and arms. I started using antibiotic cream to stop the spread of body acne. But still, it is still evident.I'm getting body acne.

About a year ago my husband started developing adult acne. He's 26 years old. Since then it has just gotten worse and worse. It now covers his cheeks, most of his fore-head and down his neck and its starting to scar. It seems like we've tried everything! over the counter acne soaps, creams, lotions, pro-active, prescrisption medication, good hygene; washing his face alot. Sometimes it gets to the white head but some are just bumps. it looks, like irritated.

Hi i am a 26 yr old male. i have a moderately itchy scalp that gets oily by the end of the day & have occasional acne on the scalp. also i have significant hair loss due to it.Recently, i have noticed more frequent occurrence of acne on my face & rarely on my chest & back. i wash my hair everyday with a mild shampoo to remove the oiliness. it just doesn't seem to help. i somehow feel the itchy scalp, acne & facial acne are related.

that was very noticable and some on the front of his chest that were much larger than acne. He said it was from adult chicken pox? He also had an enlarged lymph node on his neck. He is going to good school in the United States from out of the country and I'm very worried. I have started to develop slight symptoms such as yeast infection, a couple of days after I got sick (no fever), slight fatigue and now I think I might have a lesion on my tongue.

Hi. My skin has always been clear but about six months ago I got acne. The acne on my face keeps spreading. It's starts off as very small bumps on my face which later get red and swell a little. I also have lots of whiteheads and my acne. I've tried tratree oil and niacinamida and none of them seem to work. Any ideas to what to put on my face?

My I do use apricot scrub for my acne it helps. And put a good lotion on after. If you have acne all over your body you could buy a bar soap that has benzoyl peroxide in it. And wash you body with it. It kind of dries your skin out so you want to make sure you have some good lotion.

Now I have persistant and large acne on my cheeks and jawline, including cystic acne. The acne is ever present and not just once a month. My current dermo (not the one who proscribed Accutane) tells me that it's hormonal (I believe this) and that I will just have to deal with it for the rest of my life (I don't want to accept this). She does Cortosone injections on occasion for the cysts because I cannot, for the life of me, leave my face alone.

Last week, I woke up in the morning to find that my forehead was very red and very itchy. I didn't know what cause it, but I put plenty of moisturizers on it and by the afternoon, it had all but disappeared. This happened again yesterday, over a smaller area of my face, but didn't cause me too much discomfort. Today, though, it is all over my face and the itchiness is driving me crazy.
