Bread

I know bread(wheat or glutin) is a trigger for a lot of people on here. But where do you tand to get the breakout from it? I usually get it near the corner of my mouth just above the jawline.

Panda Express...

When ever I have gotten Panda Express's Orange Chicken and fried rice I get some under-the-surface bumps that are tender. They are located on the front of my chin or right up nder my lower lip line. They are hard to notice and do not seem to get red or anything. They are tender and hurt though. The bumps seem to come out 2 days after and stay tender for about 3 days before going away. They are pretty flat and if not for being tender and hurting when I shave I would not have noticed them.

Chicken alone does not do this to me(I eat it maybe 4 days a week) so I guess its the sauce or the fried rice.

I have tested this out 5-6 times and I'm sure it is the cause. I eat the same stuff all the time but when I have that it happens. Anyone else get this?

Salicylic Acid wipes

I have used the Equate Salicylic Acid wipes everyday for about 2 years and I am sure they were a large part in clearing me up. I have tried other "similar" products that were varying degrees of total crap.

Stridex- leaves a nasty 'film' feeling on the skin. Does not seem to work very well to prevent acne, let alone treat it.

Noxzema- smells so bad (during & after use) that you could knock a raccoon off if a trash bin by walking by. Sitting here, I opened the jar and it made me jerk my head back after smelling it. The smell reminds me of the nasty 'chicken pox' liquid treatment. This product wins the 'total crap' review.

Oxy- smells nasty too(more like some sort of perfume). Does not seem to work very well at cleaning off dirt or oil.

Equate Daily Cleansing Pads- Does kind of smell(not too bad). But goes away faster. Removes oil/dirt. Does not leave any sort of 'film' on the skin. Does not 'burn'(at least for me).

Clearasil- The 'pad' is like sandpaper. Feels like applying pool acid to your skin. Too harsh and some people say it makes them worse. Comes in a jar with a label that cons some people into buying it. Doubt they have alot of repeat customers(at least ones that are clearing up).



Anyone got a review of anything else?

Did Wal-Mart stop carring the Equate wipes?

I can not find the Equate Daily Cleasing pads(wipes) at Wal-Mart anymore. Did they stop making them?

Oily skin some days...

It seems that when I am at home and not going to school or anywhere else my face is clear of any excess oil. It feels perfect almost all day. But when I go to school by around 11:30 it is very oily? I don't get this on the weekends at home and I most likely will not be oily at all over the 2 1/2 week christmas break. If I do other things ouside of school(usually outside) I don't get anywhere as oily, if at all.

My diet never changes. I don't eat the crappy food at school. I don't eat at school at all, I am almost ever hungry until I get home. My diet is usually steak or chicken with patatoes, and corn(I like it, it does not get old for me). I don't eat junk food, almost all the food I eat is left over dinner food b/c it tastes better than anything else to me. The only sugar foods I eat are like 4 (3 inch wide) cookies very day. This diet stays the same everyday. I also drink about 1.5 gal more or less a day.


I just don't get what going to school has to do with increased oil production? Anyone lese get this same type of thing?
