Avatar m tn I always had very clear skin even during teenage years, but all of a sudden in past year I just started breaking out on my forehead, chin, cheeks...really bad breakouts starting red, some have white heads that pop eventually...first I thought that waxing causes it and stopped, but nothing helps...no systems, nothing....I haven't had any amounts of stress, no real change in diet, I do take birthcontrol pills every couple of months, but break outs started before i started on them...
Avatar f tn Hi. Apologies for the extensive response in advance but I feel everything that follows is pertinent. Sounds identical to what I'm suffering with; literally developed relentless cysts on my jawline and chin a few months ago after only having to endure a minor hormonal breakouts beforehand.
5755970 tn?1373668806 Hey guys. I hope I'm posting this thread right, I just signed up to ask this question so I don't really know the ropes around here. I've always had some smaller pimples on my face and shoulders but nothing major enough to even bother me. I have a really hard time not picking and squeezing which is the main root to why I even have the acne in the first place I suspect, but I just can't stop doing it.
8324906 tn?1398158808 It's not acne though more like allergic reactions to bites... But they all look different and no one else is getting bit. Could yours maybe be heat bumps?
Avatar f tn I just started breaking out badly in my nose and my chin just started idk what todo omgee.
Avatar f tn I found an all natural soap store in my town I have to buy two separate products of theirs and use one in the morning and the other at night. When I ran out of one of them my acne came back. I've tried everything else but those are what work for me.:/ its all trial and error.
Avatar n tn Nausea everyday for two weeks, sudden acne breakout, and 6 hour migrane. What could it be?
1430704 tn?1306387507 First, try figure out what you did different to cause the sudden breakouts. I've just finished dealing with the same problem and for me it was from a supplement I was taking called CLA. The oils in it threw my pH off balance and made my skin oilier than usual. Before this I hadn't had a skin issue since middle school. Have you changed anything in your diet? Have you made any changes to your cleansing routine? Cleansing and exfoliating too much can cause breakouts as well.
Avatar f tn ve had acne through ages 14-18, but at 18 it ceased as I stopped using cleansers and such (I guess my condition was highly aggravated by those products). A few months afterwards, I had a sudden onset of acne quite different from anything prior: different areas affected, the lesions were different etc. I also developed Sebborhoeic Dermatitis concurrently. I'm suspecting the sudden onset is caused by Malassezia.
Avatar f tn s) heavily, I used to breakout. But not like real acne, but close enough to look like pimples. I only remembered this question as I seen a meth addict yesterday on t.v. and you know how they get those crystal sores all over and pick at them? Kind of the same idea, only not sores more like acne. Now mind you, this was only if I was using heavily, 6 to 10 a day. Heavy use for me... Thanks for your feedback!
Avatar f tn Has anyone had any bad breakouts while being pregnant?? Normally I get bad breakouts around my period, but haven't. Only odd thing is ive noticed breakouts on my chest area & usually I breakout on my face.
Avatar f tn I've been noticing a lot more acne all over my neck, but mainly the front (super visble) and right around my hairline on the back. Also been getting a lot of weird, random "scabs" all over my scalp. Never had these problems before pregnancy. I know acne is normal, but i haven't gotten any on my face. Is any of this normal? More concerned about the "scabs", because i dont scratch my head much, but when i do, i find these. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
Avatar f tn So I'm 21weeks today, but ever since I was about 16weeks I've had major acne breakouts!! When do they end?? I've never been one to have acne breakouts and now its just irritating Me so so much! Ugh!! When is it supposed to end?
689528 tn?1364135841 Just wondering how many of you had an acne breakout before your BFP? I'm 10dpo. I usually break out around my time of ovulation (which I did) and I have a mild breakout a couple days before AF. AF is 5 days away and I started with a pretty moderate breakout last night/today. S.u.c.k.s!!!!
Avatar f tn I am currently 18 weeks pregnant. I never really experienced break outs ever in life. Now I randomly broke out all by my hair line, some on my cheeks, but all over my back! Is this Common???!
Avatar f tn So what is good for breakouts while your pregnant I am having some horrible acne breakouts the past few weeks.
Avatar f tn Fast forward to now- all of the sudden, this acne just got sooo much worse. It is not anything I have ever experienced. It spread ALL OVER my cheeks and jawline in these huge pimples and my old acne was just a memory. Now, it has gotten worse over the past few weeks- dark red, cysts, pustules covering my face where my beard would be if I were a man. My t zone is basically clear. My nose is very clear and my forehead has the normal breakouts I had before- sporadic and hyperpigmented.
Avatar m tn Hi, It all started a month ago, when a pretty big white headed pimple appeared on my right testicle. I have never had any pimple or acne down there before, but I wasnt concerned much. About 3 days later, all of a sudden there was about 8 to 10 of them (maybe even more, it was scary), smaller than the first one, most on my shaft where it could have been in contact with my scrotum, but few others on the other side of the shaft. I also had a couple more on the same side of the scrotum.
Avatar f tn But when I run 4-6 times a month then there is sudden rise in breakouts from deep within the skin. When I run 10K then acne activity is in overdrive within a day or two. My diet is good (I suppose) and I do take vitamin suppliment 1 cap cod liver oil and 1 tab A-Z multivitamin. Could there be toxin builtup due to shaking of internal organs while running and the fact that they are starved of blood due to max supply to leg muscles? I follow all the hygeine tips mentioned in some of the answers.
Avatar f tn s dangerous to take something *orally* for acne (unless approved by a doctor), but using something topically (on your skin) is typically safe. if you feel uncomfortable, talk to your OB about it though. I've used clearasil my entire pregnancy.. 23w4d & our baby boy is kicking my ribs as I type this!! lol good luck!
Avatar f tn I have the same problem. Never in my life have I had so many zits. It was worse in my first trimester and now that im in my second I still get em just not as much. I use noxzema facial cleanser and it works good for me. I also try to eat healthy.
Avatar f tn I have never had acne on my face and now that I'm pregnant I have so many breakouts. What can I use to control it bc I know that it is not going to go away?
Avatar f tn I've always eaten healthy but the last year or so I have really buckled down and paid very close attention to what I've been eating and of been exercising on a pretty disciplined regimen. I've gained about 10 or so pounds since I've started a stronger diet and exercise program (not muscle, my clothes are not fitting) and within the last few months my face is been breaking out really badly.
Avatar f tn Find a spot that seems to shine, zoom in, and take a Pic. Zoom in on the Pic. Look for 2 spots together that our minds see as eyes. I wish I could show you. If you see even one set of spots, it is the cocci fungus. Actually, Google "Valley Fever skin under magnification". See what comes up! Also Google your meds to see if the cocci fungus is affected by them. I know for sure antibiotics make the fungus go crazy and grow when their bacteria helpers die.
