A little confused - doubts

Hi,

I have a little acne in my face and much more in my chest. The chest acne started 3-4 years ago and has been improving in the last months but it`s still there. The face acne is not bad but it`s very persistent. I always have 4 or 5 pimples.

I started reading the post here and I read a lot but there´s so much info, so many dietary things to do, so many vitamins and supplements to take that honestly I don`t know where to start.

For example I remember in July-August I quit diary for around 35-40 days and the acne didn`t improve at all.

Do you think that a nutricionist or some kind of doctor could help me to make a diet that could improve acne? I would have to find a nutricionist (or whatever) that knows all the things that are posted here or any nutricionist should know some tips, some things to do in order to improve acne?

Thanks

Chest hair implant

Hi...

I have been suffering of chest acne for enought time. It has literally ruined my life along a little facial acne and a little backne.

Well, I was wondering if anybody knows if it`s possible to do a chest hair implant. The same is done on the head but on the chest...

If that would be possible it would be great asi it would make the acne very less noticeable or even unnoticeable....

Anybody knows something about this issue?

thanks

Roaccutane, ph, oil glands...doubts

Hi

I don`t know if anyone can answer my questions

In early 2006 I started having bad acne on my chest.

Before that time I had a few pimples every now and then in my face (I had a breakout for example every 10 days-2 weeeks, then I put BP for two days and my skin was perfect again and the cycle would start again). In my back I had some pimples too but really really mild. I would but BP and bye pimples. I didn`t use any special soap.

Well, from march to july 2006 I had Roaccutane in a very low dose to solve the chest acne. In that period my face was perfect and my back too. My chest worstened and Roa didn`t solve the chest acne.

The thing is that around september 06 I started having pimples in my face and back again. I thought "well, the same as before, nothing to get worried". But......these pimples were bigger and almost everyday I had a few. The BP didn`t worked well. The pimples on my back were more like cysts than simple pimples.

I was in that situation getting worse every month until october 07 when I changed the soap.

Since then the skin of my face has improved a lot and it has been almost as well as it was before 2006. My back continues with 3-4 cysts per week and my chest had improved but it`s still active.

My doubts are:
- why after having roaccutane my face and back acne got worse?

I don`t know anything about skin but I had 2 hypothesis:
1- the roaccutane reduced meanwhile the production of sebum but then when I quit Roa the glands started again producing sebum in more quantity.

2- the roaccutane changed the ph of my skin. Perhaps after roaccutane my skin got more alkaline so that`s why my skin couldn`t defend against the bacteria of acne. I know that if you have acne an alkaline ph makes the condition worse. The acid mantle is what defends skin against bacetrias. When this acid mantle is destroyed our skin can`t defend from bacterias properly.

So I thought that maybe Roa changed my ph and that`s why I can`t use any soap as I used before.

Are these ideas possible? I ask because from a scientific perspective perhaps this is impossible or inaccurate, I dont know.

Thanks
