I don't believe they are typically related, however, alcoholism can severely throw your system out of alignment (as can withdrawal for a little while) - diet, sleep patterns, social activities - EVERYTHING is going through a change so, I'd try to consider what is causing the acne? Hormonal changes, oily skin, change of season, new skin lotions/creams, etc... and work in reverse order.
This caused the bacteria to spread and cause my eye symptoms. Will I ever be able to put this in remission since I took steroids for a week? I know it lowered my immune system's response, and now I'm scared I won't be able to recover. I've been treating for 6 months with rifampin and Cefdinir, herbals, vitamins and a diet change. I was sick for 5 months before being treated.
Hello,
It can be due to cystic acne. Cystic acne is the most severe form of acne. Cystic acne affects deeper skin tissue than the more superficial inflammation from common acne. Since they are severe, so systemic medications are usually required. The treatment consists of topical and oral antibiotics, tretinoin, oral contraceptives in females and Intralesional corticosteroid injections. Very severe cases may need excision and drainage.
As it turns out, all that does is give asthmatics an extra dose of steroids–because it certainly doesn’t help prevent an asthma flare-up.
Canadian researchers pooled the best data from five clinical trials on approximately 1,250 patients–mostly adults–who had been randomly chosen to take either the usual dose of a steroid inhaler, or an increased dose, when they felt an attack coming on.
Hi I seem to be getting wierd acne-like pimples around my lips... tho I am not sure why.
The rest are small.. they seem to pop like acne but one is larger and unusually painful.
Looking up close they DONT look liek clusters (as with herpies) just red areas like acne usualy looks like. One looked almost like a tiny blister tho that popped and had clear stuff come out.
Any ideas on what this is? note I have similar looking pimples all around my face n nose at random locations.
So iv been admitted to hospital this morning due to waking up in a bit of blood.... iv been told I'm staying in and having steroids to prevent baby coming? I don't get it? I don't no if the monitor picked up contractions coz I need to go bak on it later on the ward.mmm Has anyone had this?
I have been having this random cluster of red acne like spots on the upper middle of my back. I'm not sure if it's acne or a rash from my laundry detergent? I've been using benzoyl peroxide acne cream but it's still there. It used to be raised a little like acne but now its all flat.
Hello,
From the symptoms it can be acne or acne keloidalis nuchae. Treatment includes suppression of the inflammation with antibiotics and steroid gels or intralesional steroid injections. So apply antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bactroban. If the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics and steroids may be needed. So continue using the Minocycline and if the symptoms persist then steroids may have to be added.Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
It is not advisable to use topical steroids on your own without a medical guidance as steroids have potent side effects.
Tretamnet includes 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.
It is treated in a similar manner to acne vulgaris with tetracycline antibiotics or erythromycin but, without the use of topical steroids.
Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been reported to be helpful, although large studies have not yet been performed.
Let us know if you need any other information.

I'm 17 years old this will be my first. Currently I'm 12 weeks 4 days and I've been getting acne; I know it might be because I'm still a teen but I never had it before. So can you get it from being pregnant? I do take care of my skin and body. Is there any way I can prevent it?
Hello,
It can be due to contact dermatitis, allergies or pompholyx. Pompholyx primarily involves the hands and fingers and then may involve the feet. The first stage is acute and presents as itchy blisters on the hands, fingers and toes. Then the chronic stage shows more peeling, cracking, or crusting. Apply some calamine lotion on the affected area and keep the area well moisturized.
Perioral dermatitis, a condition related to acne vulgaris, consists of red papules that may appear microvesicular that typically affect the nasolabial folds, perioral area or perioccular area. It usually affects women between the ages of 20 and 45.

It is commonly caused by the use of fluorinated topical glucocorticoid steroids to this area.
I was dx just over a year ago and have had really bad acne for about 10 months now. I thought it may have been from the prednisone, but I have been off of that for 5 months now and it is not getting any better! Any idea what it is from? Is it from being hyper, tapazole or still from the steroids?
Thanks for any help!
Make sure you wash this area twice a day when you wash your face. Neem soap may help. You can use white vinegar at night to dry the pores. It will cause some redness, which is why you want to do it at night. Or you could dilute the vinegar with witch hazel if it's too strong.
It is very easy to miss your nose when you wash your face if you're not paying attention.
And toothpaste is extremely drying and can be a quick cure.
It has been calledacne necrotica, acne necrotica miliaris, acne varioliformis, acne frontalis, acne atrophica, or pustular perifolliculitis. Acne necrotica is actually a misnomer, because it is not a variant of acne and bears only a superficial resemblance to an acneiform eruption. We suggest the termnecrotizing lymphocytic folliculitis.
