Avatar f tn I had other side effects from birth control so I decided to get off of it and the acne returned. I tried everything OTC for acne. I even tried proactive and it did nothing for me. So then I realized it was related to my hormones. I found a natural treatment. It's an herb called vitex fruit. It can take a couple of your cycles to take affect. It works by balancing your hormones naturally with your pituitary gland. It had natural estrogen properties.

Avatar n tn wash your face at least once a day. two times tops (once in the morning, once at night) try not to touch your face to much because of all the oil on peoples hands and dont eat to much sugar.
1386293 tn?1279592464 I have have white face and i am suffering from acne. I excersise every day and usually go for swimming (in chlorine water). I even drink a lot of water, everybody says that I don't have a glow in my skin. I even have some redness in my skin which is due to acne. Can you suggest me some remedies. I drink a lot of water is it harmful too? Does masturbation affect our glow in face?
Avatar f tn Hello, Acne is due to an overactivity and plugging of the oil glands. Just keep you face clean by washing with a mild soap like dove or Cetaphil atleast twice a day. Pat it dry and do not rub it. Avoid picking or pressing the acne. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Avatar m tn This time she gave me low amount of vitamin e cream and sensitive cream for me to apply on my face. Few days later, I noticed there is a bigger pore due to the acne extraction. Also my left and right cheek became inflamed and flaky. Am I being cheated by them? Should I go back to ask for clarification? Or go to see dermatologist?
Avatar n tn m a 31 year old female). My work has me face to face with many people per day and I feel your pain in how embarassing this condition is. I have also been to a dermatologist and many GPs and they keep saying it's acne - but I don't think it is. It develops exactly how you described, and takes pretty much 8 weeks to the day to heal. I have short periods where there are no lesions, and at other times have anywhere from 1 to 5 of them.
Avatar n tn I wash face twice a day with my normal face wash. Also I use a sulfer face mask by acne free. Lush has good face masks too my favorite is magaminty mask that has a cooling mint feeling.
Avatar n tn Also refrain from touching or squeezing your shoulder acne. Also try to keep your hair free of dandruff by using good antidandruff shampoos. You can also apply benzoyl peroxide creams or clindamycin cream on the acne. If the symptoms persist, then oral antibiotics may be needed and cystic acne need to be ruled out .Please consult a dermatologist then.
Avatar f tn Last week, I woke up in the morning to find that my forehead was very red and very itchy. I didn't know what cause it, but I put plenty of moisturizers on it and by the afternoon, it had all but disappeared. This happened again yesterday, over a smaller area of my face, but didn't cause me too much discomfort. Today, though, it is all over my face and the itchiness is driving me crazy.
304970 tn?1331425994 I know there have been a number of posts, but did anyone suggest anything that works and is safe? My face and (t.m.i.) back are disgusting... I have NEVER had such bad acne in my life! Thanks ladies!
Avatar f tn Wash your face every night and day. If you use make you make sure to take it,all out after you are home from any event if you think you are not going out any more. When I wash my face I use cetaphil and then I put on some moisturizer. Check if your make up is oil free, use make up that's oil free. That's all thanks to the change in our hormones. I have been dealing with hirmonal acne for more than a year even before I was pregnant so I know what you are going through.
492921 tn?1321289896 Use high-quality make-up. Keep bangs/hair away from your forehead to avoid the transfer of hair oils to your face. I know that was a lot of info, I just have an unfortunate deep understanding about acne and how crappy it is! Best wishes to you, hope it clears up.

Avatar f tn Have you sought the assistance of a dermatologist for any prescription medications, either topical or oral? If you're able to visit a dermatologist, that should be your first step. Also a licensed aesthetician will treat your skin and teach you about good skin care. You should look to support your internal health, too. Drinking plenty of water will help to keep your pores clean from the inside out, help eliminate toxins, and keep your skin moisturized.
Avatar f tn You can go to your local pharmacy and look around at all of the topical, over the counter acne medications. Pick one of those and see how that works for you. Also make sure to keep your hands off your face, don't pick at or pop any pimples, and drink plenty of water.
Avatar f tn Can anyone recommend an acne treatment for those cystic acne bumps that take forever to go away? I'm 46 and did Accutane in my 20s with pretty good results until the last several years. I've had the most success with Pro Active, but my skin got really itchy when I wore mineral powder makeup and I kept ruining towels, pillowcases and shirts. I've also tried Acne Free, Murad and Dermatologic plus prescription cream with no luck.
Avatar f tn How I have addressed it when my kids get a patch is by making sure to keep the area moisturized. I used fragrance free lotions, as the fragrance tends to irritate it further. You also may consider tracking what you are eating and see if you have a 'flare' up when you eat certain foods. That said, it's possible the patches you are seeing are just dry skin too- if it's winter in the area of the world you live in- it's been an unusually dry winter for most areas.
Avatar m tn I've been to about two different dermatologist because of my acne, for some reason they become VERY swollen and red. I had to change my doctor, because the first treatment I had a bad reaction to the pills he prescribed. My second dermatologist just prescribed me clindoxyl gel. I've been using it for about more than a year now. I should have stopped by after 3 months into the treatment, however I couldn't, and now I feel silly going into his office after all this time lost.
Avatar m tn That is the truth! Keep searching, (keep praying), keep experimenting until you too are free from boils, rashes, acne and HS! My daughter now follows the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol - Paleo) diet. She did elimination diet slowly, from February to June. I will list in order what she eliminated. ALL of these foods triggered either boils or rashes!
Avatar f tn I am a Filipino and I have problems with acne my face is not even oily and I always wash my face and I sleep 8-12 hours and I never get stressed I but I still have pimples and they won't stop growing and they get worse everyday
Avatar f tn I tend to have pimples and boils on my face. The boils appear on my forehead and cheeks. They are not painful or itchy but simple swellings and they come in clusters. Few days back i massaged my face with olive oil but i got rashes on my face> how do i treat it. My otherwise health is good but overweight. What do i do to clear my skin because these problems recur regularly. Mine is a normal skin.
