Avatar n tn If there is no improvement, see your dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment of acne. Proper diet, cleansing of the face and avoidance in touching the face can help with this condition from progressing.

Avatar f tn There is no one right answer for everyone. Tips for dry skin won't help oily skin, and vice versa. Is there a specific issue you are trying to address with your skin care routine?
Avatar f tn I am now 9 weeks and my acne is awful. Cyst like, hard, painful ones that take weeks to go away! Now I can't use my retinA cream. Anyone else have tips to relieve this?
Avatar n tn Does anyone have any tips for pregnancy acne. I've talked to my "Dr" who is really a resident training to be a Dr and a different one at every appt at that. They have no idea what they're doing but that's what my insurance covers. I have break outs on my face, neck,entire back, stomach,legs,butt just about everywhere. I've tried different soaps and everything. It's not an allergic reaction just pregnancy acne. Can anyone please offer any tips.
Avatar n tn Acne during pregnancy is normal although I don't have any tips on what to do. I don't think there is much since its cause by hormones.
Avatar f tn Ya! Baking soda and water works amazing...
Avatar m tn Hello, Fusidic acid and minocycline are both antibiotics which are used for the treatment of acne. 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.
492921 tn?1321289896 I have never had an acne problem. I get the usual 4 or 5 about a week before AF is due. This month my face broke out with the normal 4 or 5 zits about 2 weeks before AF and then today 6 days after AF arrived. I'm still bleeding and my face is a mess. It seriously looks like pepperoni pizza. I use my face wash and it doesn't help. Anyone else notice a difference with this after a m/c? I had gorgeous skin the whole time I was pregnant.....
Avatar n tn Ugh, pregnancy and all it's glory, right? I'm sorry you are suffering pregnancy acne. Here's an article that might explain it a bit with some tips: http://www.medhelp.org/pregnancy-health/articles/Acne-During-Pregnancy-Your-Symptoms-Manual/2137 Hope it gets better soon!
Avatar n tn You could be mistaking for an acne disaster. Acne is when you get pimples on your body from applying oils that exist on your hands, arms, or anything you touch your face with. Before you go to bed every night, try wiping your face gently with a hot wet towel, no matter how much it burns. This will one help you get over the pain of wiping it with something hot, and two, can reduce it.
Avatar f tn Anyone have any tips on how to calm breakouts. My face and back look terrible. Obviously many products are not safe and I already know to ask my doctor before I use any chemicals or natural remedies. Just wondering if anything has been approved for you and what you have tried that works. I wash my face twice a day and follow with moisturizer but my face is getting worse. I'm 12 weeks btw.
4287262 tn?1358999012 I am telling ya, the tips from elderly work! The site I found it on, was tips and homemade rememdies that were commonly used in the past. There was alot of different options, but At the time i only had toothpaste available, and hey it ended up working. :) and by the sounds of it, you said it worked for you as well.
Avatar f tn ve been getting acne like bad acne all over my face in the first month of pregnancy and then it cleared up then I got more acne on my back and I never in my life gotten acne on my back and I'm 27 weeks today and I got acne again on my face. I don't do anything to them but wash my face with soap and cold water every morning evening and before bed and I drink a ton of water and I try eating better and cutting down greasy foods.
Avatar n tn Hi Sir, I used to get pimples around my face, back and chest however I had undergone a treatment and the problem subsided eventually however the moment I left the treatment I again started getting pimples or some kind of infection. I am again undergoing a treatment and the doctor says that this is a normal concern....I got some reports done and everything is fine.. Please let me know how long will this continue? will I be ever able to get rid of this medication?
Avatar f tn I'm 15 weeks pregnant and I have been getting horrible acne. Any tips or tricks to help my skin. I need to know what will help and be safe for my baby as well.
Avatar n tn I found two articles in the medical literature about electrothermolysis, just uncontrolled pilot studies, but neither referred to acne treatment--one was about treating facial seborrhea, the other was about hair removal. So basically, I don't know. There are other acne treatments you might want to consider, such as laser treatments to minimize oil glands, They are safe and have shown modest effectiveness, though it's not always long lasting.
Avatar m tn I went to the dermatologist and wasn't able to see a doctor, instead I was seeing by an intern who didn't seem to know what she was doing but anyway, she prescribed me what my primary care physician had already put me on for 10days; SMZ/TMP DS 800-160 Tab Interpharm to treat my infected acne. She told me she's going to keep me on it for 8 months. Now, if this is an antibiotic, is it normal to be prescribed for that long? and for acne grade III?
9889855 tn?1412479178 I was wondering if anyone has any tips for acne. I broken out pretty much everywhere. Mainly my chest. Does anyone have any tips for body acne?
Avatar f tn Just wanted to see if anyone has a good acne remedy safe for pregnancy. Any over the counter cleaners/creams that have worked for you? Please share, thank you!
Avatar n tn 1) What is the current and most effective treatment for Acne Inversa? (Most of my reading online was from relatively dated material) I have been taking Accutane for approximately one month and have so far not seen any favorable results. I have also read that Accutane does little for Acne Inversa. Is there truth to this? 2) I have read that Carbon Dioxide Laser Ablation may be just as effective as skin grafts, however, it was an emerging treatment.
Avatar n tn sounds like an adult version of acne known as acne rosacea- google it or check google images - it is completely different to the teenage form of acne vulgaris
