Hi wavey.gif I've had mild acne for most of my teens but the past year or so it has become constant, like 5 pustules everyday and inflamed flaky skin all around my forehead and chin. Its a lot redder than in the photos...

I've tried:

  • Salicylic acid
  • Benzyl Peroxide- gets rid of most spots but burns and makes skin red, peeling and painful
  • Zineryt (erythromycin and Zinc) - kept spots away for first few months
  • Apple Cider Vinegar -just removed black heads
  • Cutting out carbs /changing diet- reduced some oil but still getting spots and inflamed

Do any of you have the same thing or suggestions as to how to treat it? My doctor just keeps re-prescribing zineryt but it doesn't work anymore sad.png

Im going to try some nizoral next to see if its fungal or something because i'm running out of ideas........

Anyone? Does anyone know what might be causing the constant inflammation?

Have you gone to a dermatologist? My friend years ago had something that looked familiar to what you have and it turned out not to be acne but some type of bacterial infection or something like that. She went on an antibiotic for a few weeks and then she was good.

Try cutting out dairy or soda and drinking more more water. Fish oil supplements help as well.
