Hi!

 

I used to have good skin but all of a sudden I had this really bad breakout of comedonal acne all over my forehead for no good reason. I saw a dermatologist 5 weeks later and she prescribed Epiduo for me. I have been using Epiduo for seven weeks now and it has improved my skin marginally but there are still tons of bumps on my forehead!! Also, I now have bumps on my cheeks and my chin as well. And yesterday I went batshit crazy extracting all the bumps on my forehead so now I am left with tons of red marks that are so freaking hard to cover up. The stuff I extracted from the bumps are hardened sebum just like the shit you will find in your blackheads and I find it hard to believe that Epiduo would be able to get rid of those without any manual extraction. Should I continue to use Epiduo? Also, any recommendations for foundation that will not aggravate my skin and cause any breakouts at all? Has anyone had success with Epiduo for comedonal acne? Thanks in advance, I have never felt so ugly in my life :(

Hi

 

I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through with your skin, it sounds very similar to my acne. I cannot really comment on prescribed products as I am trying to stay away from anything benzoyl peroxide based but I can offer advice re make up, are you from the UK?
