Homeopothy HELP WHATS GOING ON?!?!!!

Hi,

So BP was working well for me, all inflamed pimples and redness had gone, skin was soft (no bumps anywhere) and I was starting to get confident to go out again.

But it wasn't perfect.

So this woman I know who knows quite alot about dermatology (especially all that natural products stuff) and she gave me a homeopothy treatment to try out:

Silicea (Complex Homeopathic Legning no. 11). There these pills that I melt under my tongue twice a day. I can't find alot of information about them anywhere which is mysterious..

So I thought nothing of it and just took them.
Suddenly my acne is getting red and SO MUCH WORSE!! Even worse then before I started using BP .... there are about 6 pustules on my face and there are red blotches everywhere! :/

I am still using BP and Clearasil (my normal regimen) and cursing the day i started using these goddam pills....

But then I thought, is it normal with homeopothy treatments for your acne to get worse before it gets better?

PLEASE HELP ME, I'M BACK IN THE DUMPS!!

Benzoyl Peroxide.... BUT WHAT NEXT?

Hi,

I have been using benzoyl peroxide wash and cream for about 2 weeks now,

the effects have been that my skin is now quite smooth and the acne isn't red, or particularly bumpy anymore.

I suppose this is a good thing, but the acne is still quite visible and noticeable, and thats what I want to take away..

Will the benzoyl peroxide eventually get rid of all the acne (its been effective so far), or should I use some other product to eliminate the acne altogether.

Also, is the acne on my face now scarred? cos if so then there's a hell of a lot of scarring!

Teenage first timer, advice needed!

Hi everyone,

I'm 15, longish hair. Exercise daily but smoke (can't give up, sorry..). Tried giving up smoking and cutting down hair, but none of them are effective so dont dwell on them.

Basically I've had really clear skin all my life, earlier this year pimples started forming..

This lead to more pimples,

Which spread to bigger clusters,

Which has now turned to red marks and a few pimples dotted around both my cheeks!

I was considered pretty good looking before, in London people knew me, and I was getting ready to model as I had been scouted a few times (sorry if I sound like an arrogant fucker..)

Basically, I have tried all the over the counter remedies I can find: Clearasil, Oxy and some Clean and Clear. Clearasil over the summer cleared the acne basically. But then it kept coming back worse (this happened twice).
So I kept doing it to see if it would wear it down. But it didn't, so now I've bought 2 benzoyl peroxide treatments (one face wash, and one strong cream). I've been taking it for 2 or 3 days and it hasn't had an immediate effect but I can't comment yet.

My confidence is in the shitter. I can't look people in the face and I am not confident enough to meet with certain friends.
All I want is clear skin. It would take away so many of my problems, I am naturally quite a depressed guy so when theres a trigger, everything falls apart.

So can you tell me what worked for you? And also, at what point should I start thinking about accutane and lazer treatment... because that sounds super effective?

Thanks everyone,
