Avatar m tn 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!).
Avatar m tn When my daughter turned 6 last June, she developed acne on her forehead. Mistakenly we thought it was molluscum (which she had on other body parts). The dermatologist recommended a salicylic based acne medication. After a few days of not working, I am trying Clearasil with a 3% sulfur base. I don't even know if this is for sure safe for children.
Avatar f tn They will address your cystic acne-which being 23 is going to be very diffuclt to clear up. Once you reach adult hood, acne is harder to treat; but is treatable. Next a dermatologist will be able to give you a skin allergy test. You consuming a lot of soy products could be the issue. We are allergic to a lot of foods we eat, and we dont realize what our bodies are saying to us. When you talk to a dermatologist, make sure to ask them about a disorder called candida.
1388445 tn?1289267388 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.
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 f tn Hello everyone! What are your non-intestinal symptoms of Crohn's? How long did it take you to receive a diagnosis? Did the doctor's suspect a different GI issue first? I've been exhausted and hopeless with all the tests and trials to figure out whats wrong and none of my systems seem to be related with any other issue. I'm also very intoverted, so trying to even communicate what's wrong has been a struggle for me.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I'm 25 this is my 2nd pregnancy and I'm 9weeks this year I've struggled with acne off and on this year but now it's even worse and I know I'm limited on what I can use anyone else have this problem and any suggestions?
Avatar m tn exactly one month ago, i had an encounter with a callgal, jus masturbated on her body without penetration, near her thighs, am worried is this heatrash, or adult acne, or anything with STD. i never had any unsafe sex with anyone before.
Avatar n tn I believe the correlation comes from the release of androgen hormones in your body when you rapidly lose fat. While there are no studies confirming or denying that there is an increase in acne breakouts while taking phentermine, enough people have experienced it, to provide a definite correlation.
Avatar m tn Pimples on the chest and shoulders are usually acne. I don't know why you're worried about MRSA, and don't see why you should be. I advise you to cleanse with benzoyl peroxide--available without prescription--and that you consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Best. Dr.
Avatar f tn I have always taken pristine care of my skin. I am a very health conscious eater, and drink plenty of water. I do not consume alcohol or caffeine on a regular basis. I protect my skin with a natural 50 spf religiously. I cleanse with a completely chemical free cleanser, and moisturize regularly with unprocessed virgin coconut oil. I never moisturize with products containing mineral oil, fragrances, propylene glycol, etc.
Avatar m tn Pretty much had all symptoms. 2week test -Negative, 16 week test - negative. But I have developed painful body acne on back,chest and buttocks. Is this due to a weak immune system? This started , a few weeks after the possible exposure. Also had this weird feeling on the tip of the tongue (burning, with food/liquids) since getting the tattoo and never got better. do I need to re-test? Freakin out, please help. Its been 7 months.
1073912 tn?1510021266 I suffers from body-acne since 4 year.Those acne appears on the back, shoulders, face, and chest I had blood test few days ago.Everything was normal (Haemogobin,Neutrophils,Lymphocytes.Monocytes,Total Leucocyte count and Basophill) but eosinophils vaule was litlle higher 9% than normal vaule(1-6 % normal).I search on web and found it may cause allergic effects. If this increment in Eosinophils value is responsible for Body acne Is this due to the oily food i eat ?
11083698 tn?1415151204 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.
Avatar n tn Hello, These can be due to acne or folliculitis skin. Back and shoulder acne are quite difficult to treat compared to acne on other parts of the body. Thoroughly wash your body everyday, especially the back and shoulder part using a back brush and frequently change your bed sheet, as it is conducive for bacterial growth. Engage in a diet that is low in sugar and fat but is rich in vitamins. This prevents acne by preventing the buildup of excess oil on the skin.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Same history also, although I am 32 with a history of acne (cleared up when I was on the BC pill) and acne has continued into adulthood. just recently experienced this whitehead rash (exactly as (Gina described it) which I also thought was acne and have been treating as such. (I live on a small island with no dermatologist). Any recommendations on how to treat it? i have been using acne products on it, which sounds like the wrong thing to do!
Avatar m tn What do you think why I get acne 4-5 with smaller ones spread on chest and few on back?
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn My chest and back have serious folliculitis, many acne bleeding after bathing, I had a relationship with a prostitute, I found that her body also has many acne and several acne bleeding, when we hug each other, two people's acne wound blood exchange, I will be infected with AIDS?
Avatar m tn no - I was not dx w/ hashi's - Yes, I agree with the T3 and T4 - I will get the results most likely next week and forward to my endo. for review. My thyroid may not be able to produce T4 and a friend who is an internal med doc said there's a possibility I would need cytomyle? spelling? I didn't do all that great on Armour and I feel so much better on Synthroid it's just my face has this rash/acne - Derm's keep dx's it as adult acne? rosacia ect...
