Acne.org Products
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me as I literally dont know what else to do.
So my history: I had mild acne during my teenage years (blackheads and very small whiteheads) that did not leave any scarring. As I approached 18/19 the acne cleared and I had relatively normal skin. Then I got the mirena coil and a stressful job and my skin went wild. Almost all of my face was covered in small, hard, red painful bumps. I had the coil removed and went on the pill which temporarily got rid of the spots.
However 2 years ago I came off it and every so often I get these small hard red bumps which leave red marks for at least a month after theyve gone away.
I use paulas choice products religiously which seems to clear up the majority of it and sometimes (rarely) my skin can be clear. The bumps are on my face (usually below my cheek bones and forehead), my back and my chest.
Does anyone have any advice? Im so frustrated!
hi,
i was the same, i had mild acne and it was on my chest and back, if it is wide spread over the shoulders and chest then i recommend going to your GP and getting referred to the dermatologist. The tablets they give you works wonders and mine are all clear now, I've got no spots or scaring anywhere. It might take you a while to get a referral but its all worth it. Hard red spots sounds like boils but is unusual on the back and chest. i recommend getting it checked.
Same here. I had a few pimples here and there as a teen, and once I finished college, with the stress of post-grad life, I started getting crazy acne. I started using Sebamed Cleansing Bar--helped a lot, and then I started using Pixi Glow tonic, which is also amazing. Would highly recommend both 
Thank you both so much! I recently read about a link between vitamin d deficiency and acne. I started taking it a couple of weeks and my skin seems to be calming down! It could just be conincidence but Im hoping its working! What tablets did your dermataologist give you?
