Regimen prescribed by Dermatologist.

Hi all.

I recently went to my derm and he prescribed me a range of things, if after 3 months they do not work he said I will need ro-accutane.

This is what he prescribed me.

Mornings -
Benzac AC wash, benzoyl peroxide 50mg/g. 5%. This is a face wash that I put on, leave for 30 seconds then wash off.

6% sal acid, 15% prop glycol in 70% alc 200 .
This was a mix the chemist made up, not much on the bottle except for its highly flammable.
I rub this on my face in the morning and it stays on.

Because this stuff has a big dry out effect, he gave me -
redwin sensitive skin sorbolene moisturizer, with 10% plant derived glyerine. I would use this every morning.
Ingredients -
water, glycerin, sorbitol, stearic acid, mineral oil, cetearyl alchol, triethanolamine, triticum vulgare (wheat germ oil)



Nights -
Benzac AC wash, benzoyl peroxide 50mg/g. 5%. This is a face wash that I put on, leave for 30 seconds then wash off.

5% sulphur in calamine lotion. Calamine lotion B.P mixed with 5% sulphur



So yeah thats about it, what do you reckon about that regimin? Anything wrong with it? Any tips etc?
Is the moisturizer good? I've heard moisturizers can be bad for acne, is this one?

Blackheads,

Hi.

From what I understand blackheads are small red bumps with a black center, similar to a whitehead.

I do not have any of them, how ever I do have many little brown dots on my face, no they are not freckles. Are these pores? If so, why are they brown and how do I get rid of them?
Heres a picture.

Need this rumour confirmed

Hello all.

Simple question. Does Sexual intercourse cause acne? I heard because of the hormones with it some people break out dramatically after intercourse. Is this true?

Annoying scars and redness.

Hi.

I am currently using mynocycline tabs twice a day and differen gel at night.

Will differen get rid of the scars or should I try aloe vera plant or something?
I wash my face twice daily with nivea refracting cleansing lotion, but nothing seems to get rid of them.

thanks

Aloe vera plant

Hi.

I have heard rubbing aloe vera sap on a big pimple scar will reduce redness and help it go away.
Can I use home grown aloe vera?
Cut some off and rub it on the effected area? Would it have a better effect overnight than differen?
I want to lose the redness in this scar asap as its very noticeable, for the best overnight treatment, is duac gel, differen, apple cidar vinegar or aloe vera the best?

Thanks
