428506 tn?1296557399 wonko- I am also on Mino and have recently had more breakouts, especially on my forehead! I thought it odd to get more zits on an abx usually used for acne! I also relate this type of breakout to a higher TSH for me. I am hypothyroid as well. I have a phone consult this week with my doctor and a follow up appt 2 weeks after that. I will ask at one or the other what is up with this.
Avatar n tn Significance Red bumps on your cheeks may signal acne, sometimes referred to as pimples or zits, and can result in scarring if left untreated. Acne also forms on the neck, chest, shoulders or back -- the areas of your body with the most oil glands. Acne bumps often heal slowly and new bumps typically appear as the older ones vanish, according to MayoClinic.com.

Avatar f tn Several factors are usually considered to cause acne such as diet, stress, genetic, dirt hormonal imbalances, cosmetics, work-related and drugs. Treatment options include topical and oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, hormonal therapy, dermabrasion , phototherapy and laser resurfacing. Normally a combination of treatments is followed and if nothing proves effective then dermabrasion and laser therapy are useful. You can discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
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 get acne cysts on my shoulders and upper back/neck area a few days before my cycle. Some stay there for about a month and some go away after a week. Are they sometimes itchy or painful? If you press on them, do they hurt or does the skin around the area change color if you mess with one too much? Look up acne cysts to see if this is what you have. If it is or not, you still need to see a dermatologist just to see what it may be. It could even be warts.
Avatar f tn Is there an effective way to treat acne for those with fibromyalgia? My dermatologists have tried quite the variety of treatments for the acne with no success. The acne isn't cystic, but a bit more problematic than mild acne. Also, a sulfa allergy limits that option for treatment. Current regimen includes Azelex (for redness and inflammation) and Tretinoin. I'm curious if there is an effective treatment that takes the fibromyalgia into consideration.
Avatar f tn about. However I was curious if this could also cause acne? I never was one to get acne on my face nor front side though I did on my rear as well as my back. Since my issue began I have noticed that I am getting alot of pimples on my face, neck, chest & shoulders. Could my other issue cause this? I am not on any medication nor have I changed soaps.
649688 tn?1276871161 I have always had clear skin even as a tenager. I am now 45. The GP told me that acne on the neck is usualy hormonal and could be due to changes in metaboloism and the ammount of sweat produced by the glands here. He has prescribed me a topical solution which I am dapping on daily and it is clearing it up slowly. He seems to think it will settle down by itself . Watch this space!
Avatar f tn At 21 I got some fine stretch marks on my hip from working at a restaurant. Life will go on. At 24, I developed a double wrinkle around my neck, thinning of the skin over the clavicles, and rosacea (what a year!). I thought it was from the jock itch cream I was taking and I waited for the wrinkles to fill back in which they didni't. Then I forgot about it. Now at 28, I developed two stomach wrinkles, persistent acne on the chest and stomach, and slow healing wounds.
Avatar f tn Could all of this inflammation + weight gain + inability to lose weight+ insomnia + acne indicate an increase in cortisol and or a hormonal imbalance? I saw my doctor who is an internist and pediatrician and he ACTUALLY laughed in my face. I am seeing on the internet that seems to be the norm.
Avatar f tn I had some terrible breakouts this preg so I bought oxy and used it for part of first trimester--about 2-3 x wk. It really helped--once clear & I switched back to my regular cleanser--cetaphil. Now I'm using 3 step Clinique which I received as a gift for Christmas. So far so good! Using it on my face, neck, & chest because my neck & chest broke out horribly towards the end of my first preg.
Avatar n tn I am also on birth control Apri and have been having extreme acne under my jawline on my neck (I read this is hormonal). Please give me your input on what you think is wrong.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have had small bumps show up along my jawline and under my chin and do not know what is causing this. Is there answer out there? I have always had great skin and no issues with acne even as a teenager-so what gives?
Avatar f tn I have this red bumps with pus in face neck and jawline and it gets itchy when i put the solution im using now. It started last year september and I have tried different ways to get rid of it until I decided to go to a dermatologist but it didnt worked as well. I never had this much acne, the usual is like a pimple or two that i think its because of my menstruation. I dont think i have hormonal imbalance coz my period is on regular basis.

Avatar f tn Hey current and future mommies!!! So I have never really had acne before (just a couple pimples here and there) but as soon as I got pregnant, it's as if my body decided to become a teenage boy! I'm full of acne on my face, down my neck and even on my back! I feel horrible and disgusting! It's like my face chemistry has changed it feels tougher, oily and out of no where my pores are huge!!! Help! I'm 8 weeks pregnant, does this ever go away and when?!?
Avatar f tn s suffered from acne all throughout my teen years. My worst battle with acne was in early 2016, and just to give a little insight on that phase, my face was completely covered with all kinds of acne, from whiteheads to blackheads to cysts, and it was so painful that I couldn't sleep on my sides comfortably.
Avatar f tn Hello~Sounds like acne to me, there are some over-the-counter creams you can get to put on them, some help, some don't. If it continues and bothers you, then probably seeing a dermatologist or your GP would be beneficial, they might give you a short term of Tetracycline to help clear it up, but from what you have described, it doesn't sound that serious.
Avatar m tn Ive tried everything possible out there to the point that i gave up. Nothing works at all and i keep on getting this medium size to large boils on face, neck, back even in between legs and pubic hair area. It seems like when i shave my face clears up a little, but few days go by and my face, neck and back start getting this red painful bumps, ive also tried changing my diet eating less greasy foods and nothing either.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm a female who has been developing excessive hair growth *all* over my body & face as well as terminal hairs(dark hairs). I've also been getting irritated easily & have weird mood break downs/cry alot/feel like I have alot of cortisol built up + lack of energy which leads me to think I have some kind of hormonal disorder such as cushing's disease/syndrome or hirsutism. Can anyone recommend what kind of doctor I should see?
1621269 tn?1327203489 I am 12w 5d and I have developed really bad acne/spots on my chin and around my mouth. I know this is my hormonal area but they are huge, like bubbles which are really hard and sore with no white heads, well not yet anyway. Was wondering if anyone has any remedies or ideas on diet which will help in the future. I know skin problems are normal in pregnancy I'm not worried its just annoying.
Avatar m tn Within the last 3 months I has covered the bottom of my chin and is coming up on my cheek and spreading slowing down to my neck, I fear. It looks like ***** blistering pimples, my face is hot and red around the areas where the ***** pimples like thing are. After about a day or two day the puss turns yellowish and starts to dry out. The reddness and bumpyness is still there. I've went to a derm. and they gave me oral steroid for 6 days. It seems to work then it would come back.
Avatar f tn I have terrible stress acne and then adding hormone acne on top my face was just terrible.
1508709 tn?1289936565 Hello, The symptoms are suggestive of acne keloidalis nuchae. It occurs when hairs on the back of the head and neck grow into the skin, become inflamed, and cause scar tissue. These ingrown hairs usually occur following a short haircut on the back of the head and nape of the neck. Treatment of AKN includes suppression of the inflammation with antibiotics and steroid gels or intralesional steroid injections. So apply antibiotic cream like Neosporin or bactroban.
