I have long curly hair. I n 62 and I have had breakouts like on one side of my face for about 2 years on the side that my hair hangs on. I could not get this acne to complete go away. It would almost be give and back again. I could actually see a line that went from one spot to another. It's hair! My hair.

Then two days later we had sex,and the SAME AREA on my penis as before started burning and actaully had little swelling spots, perhaps 10 bumps pinhead size and clear....I washed and applyed hydrocort1%, and it turned to a pink blotchy area now 2 days later....
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.
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.
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.
I'm in my 40s, and still having oily skin and some acne if I don't use exactly the right facial cleanser. Except the best "facial cleanser" for me turns out to be a men's body wash! I get it at Walmart. It's Alpine X-treme hydrating body wash, Mountain Stream scent (blue). I also find white vinegar to be the best astringent. Think of the money you'll save if these are all you need.
I hope you get quick results.
The key phrase in your story is, "I cannot, for the life of me, leave my face alone." Unless you can find a way to leave your face alone, no treatment will help. Period. Therefore, I do not recommend that you take out your IUD or treat your hormones. I do suggest that you consult a psychiatrist skilled in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive behavior, of which picking the skin is one example. There are medications that can help you.
I contracted Hep B as an adult in my 40s. I’m gay so I assume it was through sex. My doctor had never suggested getting vaccinated which was very unfortunate. I had mononucleosis at the time and my immune system couldn’t beat the Hep B. My doctor was more concerned about the mono than the Hep. My ALT was very high as were all my liver levels but within 6-8 months on entecavir all my my liver tests were normal but I’ve never been able to clear the S antigen.
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?
Thank you for your response, I appreciate it.
Hello ladies, I am 31 years old and 18 weeks into my first pregnancy. I have had very mild adult acne for the past 5 years or so but with this pregnancy it has gone from mild to I don't even want to show my face severe. Can anyone offer any remedies? I follow a daily skin regimen and have never had this issue like this before, all the moms at work say the same thing: it's just hormones.
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.
I stopped taking the medication and one week later (during my cycle when I usually have mild acne) - I have the worst acne in my life!!! It has to be from the phentermine. I'm going to be seeking out other ways to continue weight loss.
Trying to get into a dermetologist because this acne seems to just keep spreading and doesn't seem to be going away.
I am in the same boat as you - i started getting acne when i was 21 which i though was a little odd. My dermatologist told me it is common in adult females as it is usually hormonal; however, i refuse to take birth control because i believe the harmful effects outweigh the benefits. I am on perscription to calm the inflammation but for more of a sustainable long-term solution it is important to focus on a low glycemic diet as refined sugars tend to effect hormones.
Depending on the cause and severity of your acne, of course. I grew up in a place full of sunshine, and that just burned the acne right off until I outgrew it. We didn't worry about skin cancer back then, of course. You don't say if you adult acne or teenage acne, so we don't know the cause or severity. Neither are we experts here on your medication. But there are more ways to deal with it than just one. Peace.
It is likely that thyroid autoimmunity might be more frequent in the adult acne patients and this should be kept in mind when screening women with post-adolescent acne".

Hello.
These two conditions are not noticed with Ritalin. You may have had them coincidentally.
Adult ADD is associated with a lot of other psychological problems. To avoid them, you should try and take Ritalin regularly.
Can you mention if you had AD/HD symptoms in the childhood?
I've always had issues with acne the majority of my teen to adult life. The only thing I've ever kinda found to help was tanning beds, obviously now I'm pregnant I've stopped and my skin is so gross! Anyone have any natural remedy solutions or products? I'm sick of it!
