The skin on my cheeks seems to be dry right now because of the topical stuff from my dermatologist (retin-a micro gel, used in the morning and left on till night, and benzaclin gel used at night and left on till morning) but normally it feels pretty smooth and kind of soft but also kind of dry. My forehead feels scaly-ish which is probably because of all the imperfections on it but in the summer it is pretty oily and right now in the winter is feels dry and scaly. My jawline is pretty average.
I've recently went to the doctor and was prescribed Doxycycline and Benzaclin a topical gel which consists of 1% clindamycin and 5% Benzoyl Peroxide it seems that its getting better, I just wanted to know what your opinion was on this?
Also i have a prescription face medication cream called BenzaClin which is 1% clindamycin and 5% Benzoyl peroxide. Also, i am away at college far from my house so could it be my face isnt use to the water here? Im not sure what else it could be. Does anyone have any ideas of what i can do to help??? Can someone tell me what has helped them get rid of annoying and stubborn pimmples? Pleasee helpppp.. thanks!
Experts also recommend the use of showering frequently with benzoyl peroxide cleanser and shampoo and applying a benzoyl peroxide gel afterwards to the affected area. It is important to keep the area clean and dry as much as possible.
Tee Tree Oil is one natural product that has been effective to prevent infection and future breakouts. If your condition persists and scarring present, it is best to see your doctor for further evaluation and management.
Take care and keep us posted.

There are many scrubs and masks on the market which can improve the appearance of blackheads. If they are of limited benefit to you, ask your doctor about Differin gel. This is a topical retinoid which contains Adapalene 0.1%. It works deep into your pores and is effective at clearing both acne and blackheads.
Eloise.
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.If benzoyl peroxide leaves your skin dry, apply an oil-free moisturizer after 10 mins of applying benzoyl peroxide.
If the symptoms still persist then pls consult a dermatologist and get folliculitis ruled out.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
please help! Always having a bad hair day i use to have oil, spray or gel on me hair, but being 10 weeks i am confuse which brand i should use, cos most of the gel shouldnt be used during pregnancy. Please advice.
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.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
The gel is more effective since it stays on your skin and penetrates better than the wash. I wouldn't recommend using them both unless your acne is severe, it may causes excessively dry skin or irritation.
Hello,
For the blackheads,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.If benzoyl peroxide leaves your skin dry, apply an oil-free moisturizer after 10 mins of applying benzoyl peroxide.
They are very painful and can occur due to stress, vitamin deficiencies or trauma. Apply chlorhexidine gel or any other oral antiseptic gel you can find twice daily on your mouth ulcers and leave it on for 2 mins and then do warm salt water gargles. Drink or eat half hour after application. Take OTC multivitamins rich in riboflavin to counter the mouth ulcers. If it still persists consult your dentist.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I haverecently gone to my primary physician and dermatologist and they tell me it is acne and prescribed benzaclin/ Atralin and sumaxin. Benzaclin seemed to work at first, but now it seems to make my breakouts worse. The other two prescriptions just dont seem to work at all. What could this be?Herpes? I do have herpes, but my doctor tells me it should only be on the lip (I have it next to the lip) it's not noticeable at all.

PEROXIDE (3%) IS THE ANSWER, YES I SAID PEROXIDE...THE KIND YOU GET FOR LESS THAN $5 AT WALMART WILL MAKE YOU POO NANNY SMELL BETTER AND FEEL BETTER TOO : ) OKAY LET ME EXPLAIN LACTOBACILLUS

The first product was a salicylic acid foam cleanser, the second was a salicylic toner, and the third was a benzoyl peroxide lotion. (I have used salicylic acid before, so I don't think that was the cause of the reaction.) After two days of use, my skin was extremely dry and my eyes were swollen. I stopped using the benzoyl peroxide, but continued with the salicylic acid because I was out of town with no other products. After six days, I stopped using the products entirely.

I got 50 mosquito bites all over my back.
Ive got rid of the itch in 8 days and no I did not scratch. I used Calomine Lotion Costizone cream & after bite gel yes got rid of itch but tiny red spots remained I still use calomine hoping to dry them out but still there. Ive been on Antibiotics for 3 days now. And will be buying TCP Antiseptic next thinking of applying TCP on my back 3 to 4 times a day to see if this gets rid of these spots. Also considering Shea Butter or Benzol Peroxide.
Initially you can try Tretinoin cream 0.025%, tazarotene 0.1%; adapalene 0.1% gel; benzoyl peroxide 5% gel; azelaic acid 20% cream; salicylic acid 1–2% cream or gel; alpha hydroxy acid preparation; trichloroacetic acid 10–20% peel.
You can visit a Dermatologist as to which treatment is suitable for you.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Bye.
I have tiny bumps under the skin that never seem to disappear and can't be "popped". I know you should never pop ur pimples but these have been there for months. It started when i was 20 and for the past three years it's gotten progressively worse. When I started using liquid foundations the dumps increased 10X the amount. Now that i'm using more natural products there are less but they itch and are all over my face.
