Hello,
In the past few months my cystic acne has cleared up thanks to Gedarel 20, however I have started to develop occasional (light red?) whiteheads on my cheekbones and blackheads on my forehead (which I have never ever gotten before). I have attributed them to moisturiser (Garnier Shine Be Gone Matte) I started to use in mid-December because as soon as I eliminated it from my routine they disappeared again. In the past, during winter months for flaky skin due to the cold, I have used moisturiser before (La Roche Posay Hydraphase Legere) and it never broke me out bar the tiniest, tiniest of pustules in the mouth area. However, I now need to moisturise my face again as it's reacting badly to the cold weather, so I went out and bought LRP Hydraphase Legere again, but now my whiteheads and blackheads are reappearing?
Does anyone have any clue as to why this is just starting to happen now? I changed nothing in my skin regimen for months before starting to use that moisturiser daily. If my skin is reacting badly to a moisturiser I have used in the past without any ramifications then surely something's changed with my skin? Does anybody else's skin change the type of pimples they get regularly?
Thanks
Hi,
i found that after having my 2nd baby, I would break out when using new products on my cheeks which is somewhere I have never got spots before. I assumed I just had sensitive skin, but it just seemed to get worse even when I cut all new products out and went back to my usual routine. I went to see a dermatologist who diagnosed me with rosacea. I had never even considered it, so now im using la Roche possay line for rosacea skin and it doesn't break me out.
Maybe its its worth seeing a dermatologist if you can?
Ive just been prescribed gedarel for hormonal acne on my chin, can I ask how your getting on with it? did it cause an initial breakout for you? And are you getting any headaches?
The doc prescribed me this as I get migraines and said the lower dose should be ok, but I'm still worried to try it.
Hope your doing well
