Hi Guys its been a while since i posted.

 

As you can see in my previous posts i tried the caveman regimen and it did not work for me at all. my cistic acne on the right side of my face got worse.

 

So i decided to visit the dematologist again. When she saw me she got so mad she basically started screaming at me asking me why didnt i follow the regimen she suggested. This happened the first week of December 2014. She decided to start me on a completly new regmen.

 

First, That torture Facial

I really thought this was gonna be a relaxing day at the spa. well it was not! im basically talking about poking needles in my face to drain all the acne and the inflamation. Once i got out of my facial all the inflammation subsided and the puss was drained. Started doing this every two weeks, then three and so on. After my acne is cured we are gonna start treating the scars.

 

2nd dermatologist treatment

 

She prescribed aczone to deal with all the inflammed acne. The healing process of each spot is accelareated on this topical but it does not prevent new acne from forming.

then, the medicine i had the horrible expirience with, TAZORAC. She said the first time i used it i applied to much and it just burned the first layer of my face... it was that bad!

Got prescribed 0.1 Tazorac. but i only apply a pea size amount

 

The overall complation of my face looks much better my skin tone is much even. Im starting week 5 and im still purging. its not as bad as the first weeks but i still get smal pimples and black heads were i broke out the first time. The right side of my face where I had all the cysts is almost completly clear. but still left with about 4 boxcars. (never had acne that left scarring before, kinda upset about that)

 

REGIMEN

 

Monrning:

-Wash my face with water

-Apply Neutrogena Alcohol Free toner

-DML 25 SPF Mostorizer or Neutrogena Dry-touch SPF 80 if im going to be outside in the sun for long

 

Night

-Wash my face with Cerave Foaming Cleanser for normal to oily skin

-Apply Cerave Facial Mostorizer PM

-after an hoour apply TAZORRAC 0.1

 

I was taking multi Vitamins but my dermatologist decided against it. She told me B vitamns cause acne. So im gonna ask her wish vitamis can i take that wont affect my face. even if i have to purchuse them individually.

 

As i mentioned before i have polycistic ovarion disorder, im positive this is one of the main causes of my sudden acne at 27 years old. i started taking cryselle BC to treat the ovarian cysts but it was giving me facial hair and more breakouts. My dermatogist recommended Orto tri Cyclin Lo and it was prescried by my GO. Since then....No more Chin breakouts! this birth control is FDA cleared ( i think thats the right term) to treat hormonal or lower face acne.

 

I keep taking probiotics, lots of water, Vitamin C 1000 mg and cocunut oil (one tblspoon after dinner)

 

So far I am really sticking to my regimen and I am really seeing results!

Get clear !!

 

I've struggled with persistent cystic acne for 13 years. I am finally crystal clear (I get a small breakout if I stray away from my regimen or eat the wrong things but whatever sometimes you need junk food!) now I'm no expert, but I do know what it's like to cry when you see your face without makeup If this is you, read on!

 

Now, after visiting the dermatologist many many times, I've had some short-lived success. The only thing that has given me consistent success is changing what I put into my body. Ever feel like you are taking amazing care of your skin and still breaking out? That's because our skin is a direct reflection of our health-acne is a symptom of a bigger problem: lack of nutrition!

 

Many people have food intolerances and don't know it. So we eat the same things day in and day out and our body tries to eliminate them (via our skin for some people like me and you). Some common triggers: dairy, gluten, processed sugar (me), corn (me). By eliminating corn and corn products-read labels!! And lowering sugar intake while adding whole food nutrition via my diet and juice plus capsules (life saver! Also helped with weight loss for me)...I am totally clear and confident. Check my profile for before/after pictures.

 

Regimen:

Eliminate corn products in diet

Reduce sugar in diet

Take juice plus capsules

Eat mostly non processed foods

 

Topical:

Am: wash with cera ve sensitive skin wash

Moisturize with Jergens for face spf 15

Almay clear complexion makeup

Mac bronzing powder

 

 

Pm: wash with cera be sensitive skin wash

Moisturize with neutrogena oil free

Treat with acne.org treatment (3 times a week)

 

I've done the regimen without the diet change. Helped but did not keep the giant, under the skin cysts from forming! Hit me up for any questions you have
