Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar n tn My son has severe acne. He tried antibiotics to no avail. Now his doctor has him on topical accutane and another topical application. He is having severe flare ups and when he applies the accutane it burns. He's fed up with this. Any thoughts? i will call his doctor, of course, but am wondering if you have any ideas.
Avatar n tn Hello, Acne are sometimes a part of rosacea and then they may present as red cheeks with popular pustular lesions, but otherwise acne vulgaris does not present with red cheeks. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Avatar f tn First with regards to your 2008 response to Acne Vulgaris, can the 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide facial cleanser, beta hydroxy acid, or the Salicylic acid be use on my legs? I have these symptoms on the tops of my thighs and they are starting to cause mild pain when I get "goose bumps" in the O.R. at work.
Avatar f tn t dermatologists or doctors but I am of the believe that NO- ONE knows your skin better than you and my recent breakouts are DEFINITELY a combination of hormonal acne and acne caused by Malassezia (also known as Malassezia Folliculitis which is often misdiagnosed as acne vulgaris, to the detriment of the sufferer) as opposed to P. Acnes.
Avatar f tn I am experiencing a severe breakout. I have larger nodules under the skin around my chin, jaw bone, and neck. They last for two weeks before they become painful and eventually come to a head. An esthetician recommended taking probiotics with a digestive enzyme, but that seemed to make it worse. I have tried medication, facials, microderms, etc... They only seem to make it better temporarily. What could be causing this and how do I fix it?

Avatar m tn For moderate to severe acne benzoyl peroxide and alpha hydroxyl acid is very effective. Even acutane has been found to be effective. Be careful about its side effects like dry eyes, lips, blurring of vision etc.Wear only cotton clothes. Avoid sweating on the back and change clothes frequently. Take at least 2 showers a day. If there are cysts or nodules then seeking the opinion of a dermatologist for laser therapy or surgery will be helpful. Take care!
Avatar m tn And sometime when im standing for a long period of time my left upper abdomen hurts a little.
Avatar n tn It is a yellowish or blackish bump or plug on the skin and is a type of acne vulgaris. It is caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland's duct. Cleanse the area thoroughly and apply a good mild exfoliating scrub on that. Apply a medicated cream or gel containing resorcinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. This helps is soaking the oil and helps in peeling away the blackheads.
Avatar n tn I have never had nodules of such magnitude ever since. Ocassionally, I have some nodules on my anus and groin, but they occur rarely and often finish by themselves. I also have acne like outbreaks at times. They are not severe and often finish within a few days leaving no scars. These are on my face and present as single acne bumps. Sometimes they can occur on other parts of my skin, but they always go away by themselves.
Avatar m tn Hello, Differin topical containing adapalene, is used for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris. A thin film of the gel should be applied, avoiding eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. It should help you and you should use it as prescribed. Also avoid using any lotions and creams over the face for the meantime. Wash your face with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat your face dry.
Avatar n tn Natural or synthetic analogues of vitamin A has been successful with skin disorders including acne vulgaris. Research has shown supplements of vitamin A has not proved successful. Before you take supplements of any minerals/vitamins, such as zinc, suggest getting blood work first to see what your levels are. Taking too much zinc can lower your immune system. Hoped this helped you.
Avatar f tn Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to acne vulgaris. Just keep you face clean by washing with a mild soap atleast twice a day. Pat it dry and do not rub it. Avoid picking or pressing the acne. You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel once at bedtime. An amount of lotion the size of a pea should be enough to cover most of your face. If your skin becomes red or peels, you are using too much of the medicine or applying it too often.
