Cherryx 10 Share Posted August 20, 2012 When I was a young teenager, I had acne on T-zone (my nose and forehead), later in my teen years I had lots of acne on my cheeks primarily. I stopped having acne on my nose and forehead whatsoever. My jaws were clear too. Now, I am 22, my cheeks have cleared up and for the first time in a long time, I am not getting any breakouts there. However, my jaws are different story. A few months ago I started having breakouts on my jaws, close to my ears and neck. It is completely horrible and itchy and keeps getting worse. I am not sure whether it's just another stage or I'm doing something wrong. I never really took care of my jaw area before and never had any problems. Have anyone had similar experience? Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murph89 193 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Itchy?? Could be candida or a yeast/fungus. That was/is my issue and is commonly overlooked when treating acne. I take candex supplements. If your interested in more about them, message me and I'll be more than able to tell you about it Edited August 20, 2012 by Murph89 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Murph89 193 Share Posted August 20, 2012 You could get some tests done, or take the pills and see if it helps. They are a natural enzyme and worst thing that happens if they don't work is that you eliminated the possibility of that being a cause. Fungal/candida is very common!

Cherryx 10 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Can you give more information? What is the name of the medication? My jaw acne looks like looks like regular acne only a bit itchy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murph89 193 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) I'm not saying candex will be a 100% cure, but has worked for me and another guy on this site. It's called Candex. It's a natural enzyme in a pill you take every day that digests the fungal walls. It has changed my skin. I had this blotchy redness all over my chin, and it's completely gone within a week. It's crazy. You can find the candex online, or at GNC or vitamin shop. Edited August 20, 2012 by Murph89 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
