berserk

Did anyone had any side effects from it or smthing? I only tried zinc 3 years ago but stoped because it seemed pointless. I dont really plan to overdose, just wanna take as recommended.

 

 

From what I read on these forums, appears to me that vitamin d3 is the smartest choice, supplement wise... is it? Im not for using more supplements at the same time, megadosing etc and interfere too much with my overall health like some desperate people here do and Im not looking for magic cure cause I learned that every treatment have its price to pay and the price go up with quantity. I just want something that can make at least some beneficial difference when it comes to acne and maybe health in general. Is d3 way to go, or should I try something else (if its safer and more potent).

 

Cheers.

Ok. Here goes a little background. I am 22yo, have acne since 15. In the beggining it was only around my mouth, no big deal, sometimes i was clear, sometimes i had few acne. Then, in my 17 it spread on my cheeks, and in my 18 first big cyst showed up. From the begining forehead was usually fine, even now. I didnt do nothing special to prevent acne until i was 19yo. I decided to visit dermatologist, he prescribed me antibiotics for few months, azelaic acid and soap. After first month my face really started to clear up, my confidence came back and i was happy, didnt really used azelaic acid, because it didnt do anything. My face was pretty clear for 4-5 months after i stopped with antibiotics, then of course acne took me by suprise and came back little by little, i became depressed, tryed diacneal which other dermatologist prescribed me - no improvement. I visited  my first dermatologist month after that, he prescribed me antibiotics again, but this time benzoyl peroxide 5% too (in my country there is nothing under 5%) and other soap. BP was drying my skin and i rarelly used it, and besides again antibiotics cleared me up pretty well, i was full of hope that acne wont come back like before, but after 4 months i got two big cysts on cheeks, near my nose, from both sides. And i was like, heck, i am going to use bp every night. In the first two weeks it was really drying, but after that BAAAAM. My skin was amazing, never felt that good before. After few months i got some cystic break out all of a sudden, but i keeped using it, after month or two skin was better, but i noticed that my facial hair is bleached more and more and i started getting some indents, but i didnt care. I was using bp year and a half and my face got to the point when it was mostly clear, but more and more i started noticing indentations, not just from acne (which i didnt getting at all when i had acne) and not just that some of my old scars got indented more, i started getting indents even on the places where nothing hapened, and indentations are really weird, weird shapes, i even have ones shaped like lines, i assume it was from overdrying the skin and rarely use od moistruizer, and no, they are not wrinkles. I stopped using bp for a few months little by little, it was good in the beginning but acne was coming back more and more and since no other topical worked i grabbed bp again.


Here i am now, worrying about long term use of bp beacause of bleaching and indents which doesnt stop and only getting worse with every use. I would stop everything but cystic acne hurt like hell. I am wondering about accutane, should i take the risk or watch my clear face with bp getting white hairs and various shaped indents over years until i finally look like moon with white beard.

It is tough decision to make, and i really dont now what other to try that will give me at least some results without permanent damage, i dont care about my back too much, its fine by me, i can live with that, but my face cant survive without something... Please help me to decide and give some advice i have to make some choice...

One more thing, i always have good and bad days (acne wise), even when i dont do anything.

Like using it at night and washing your face only when you wake up...
Is it really necessary to wash your face before using it?

Ok, I know it may sound stupid, but I dont want to risk anything after bleaching from bp. I am growing a beard and I want to know if azelaic acid can cause bleaching. I really really really dont want to further bleach even one tiny piece of my beard, its already a mess from 5% bp and I am 22 lol.

Does Tea tree oil really cause bacterial resistance? I have been using bp 5% for over a year at night only, it helped big time, my face was smooth and not so oily, but it bleached lot of my facial hair and I started getting wrinkles and scars even in a places where I didnt have acne, pitted scars. I probably damage my skin more cause I rarely used any moistruizer (oily skin). I am bp free less than month, last week I started using diacneal but I doubt its effectiveness.

And now, I am considering tea tree oil cause I heard some positive things about it, and its natural. Does any of you used tea tree oil for long time, how much side effects do you experienced and can you name them? I stumbled upon this http://ihdg.proboard...ay&thread=68576 and I was like lol.

Does someone know something about this, is it really true?
