Hmmm Well, my mom has a tube of her finacea she never used. She didnt want to drive me to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription thats already filled and she wants me to save money. Instead, she wants me to have them put that back on the shelf *sigh*

I woke up to use the bathroom and just noticed a really ugly fat juicy yellowhead :lol: I popped the living shit out of it and then put some finacea on it. The finacea smells weird

I am not liking the way my face is looking at all and right now its itching like crazy. I think its the finacea which also stinks by the way

Er, how old is that finacea? Maybe you should just get a new one. It might have expired or degraded or something. Not good.

OMG I just looked at it and it expired in 2005. My dad insists it will be fine but to me thats disgusting!

I'd see about getting a new one. The Finacea you're using is probably fine (mine stank and made my face itch, too), but to be safe...

My face really hurts today. I have a pimples on the corner of my lip and it has three yellow heads to it. Then I have another one close to that one that has three heads. I have another one under my lip with two yellow heads and a lot of other ones too that have more than one yellow head. It sucks! I wont call them whiteheads because they are not white. They are yellow :lol:

Hi Molly, I'm just wondering if you have found a solution to dealing with your blackheads/clogged pores? I've been able to control my inflamed acne by using 10% AHA every second day, but my clogged pores/blackheads/enlarged pores remain..

Why do you keep popping your acne? I never did and they would jut get smaller depending on the products I used. D: I don't know if popping is such a great idea. You should try touching your face the least possible, even when applying medication...

I still have them too but they are better from using azelaic acid. I was on Azelex but I decided to switch to finacea.

I just dont like keeping yellow puss on my face. I find it repulsive. I never use my just my plain fingers. I always wrap my index finger in paper towels or I use q tips.

I am very frustrated! I keep getting new yellow heads on my chin and around my lips.

I am in the middle of spot treating my pimples with a clay mask. Ill update you guys on if it helps or not. I :pray: it does

 

Kim, I should have listened to you. I am never eating prezels again for as long as I live :lol: Ive been eating prezels the past few days and this could be the reason for this horrible breakout around my lips

Yeah, salty foods get me every time. I still crave salty snacks sometimes!! I always end up regretting eating them though.

Im glad to hear Im not alone in that Kim ;)

 

I am so annoyed! I woke up to use the bathroom and then I looked in the mirror and I had one yellow head under my lips and one along my lipline. I dont know why the hell I keep breaking out there =/

I just put on my finacea, waited thirty minutes, and then I moisturized with this new vitamin e oil from trader joes I bought. I think Im gonna use that at night and continue using the Lac Hydrin Five Moisturizing Lotion during the day

My face looks slightly better than it did yesterday but it is extremely itchy. I used my Lac Hydrin Five Moisturizing Lotion this morning and Im not wearing make up. I wonder if make up contributes to my breakouts.
