13yearsofAcne

Hi neighbour-la-reenos! Ok, sorry. I'll never do it again. Well, I'm here today to ask if anybody else gets this - 'this' being like little grains of sand on the scalp that look like hard sebum and ca...

I'm just going to say, rightly or wrongly, the best treatment for skin picking, skin ocd, skin anxiety, skin depression and acneiform eruptions of any kind is Accutane. Accutane will fix all of the a...

I've never heard of anyone taking Accutane to remove hyperpigmentation. Accutane impairs healing. After all, it causes apoptosis (cell death) in hyper-proliferating cells. Hence, why it is sometimes u...

No I havent tried that route, it could work as a post treatment maintenance I suppose, but I'm happy to stay with the regime I'm currently on as Im getting good results on it: to be honest I'm far too...

I know people with Ichthyosis who have taken up to 200 mg of Roaccutane everyday for decades....

The best moisturiser currently available in the UK to my knowledge is Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Face Cream Urea (5%).

Depends on a lot of things but if your hormones are normal I wouldn't invest much time in diet therapy as - happy to be corrected - this can only alter the sebum and inflammation pathways of acne. I ...

I've been to skn a few times as a last resort to remove 'marks' I can not remove myself. As long as you get to see the right person and know what you want, they are exceptional in both performance an...

Have you tried Skn clinics? I would give them 10/10, seriously, compared to 0/10 for GPs.

How do you find Epiduo? Is it better than using differin or BP on there own? I worry it might be too drying for me.

46% better lol

Hey Really interested in your experience as I've done / do a similiar thing. Is your derm private or NHS?

At this time I was now 27 years old. The course we both decided on was 40mg for around 15 months I think it was. During this course, my back, chest and ass completely cleared...with only just a few ...

Just going to say, it's a physical impossibility for differin to increase sebum production. Just doesn't work that way.

You need to go private mate. I know exactly how you feel. Honestly most GPs - if not all - are absolutely clueless about acne. You need to find a way to go private, atleast for the initial consultati...

I think retinoids modulate keratinocyte differentiation whereas alpha hydroxy works to break down intra cellular keratinocyte bonds. Beta hydroxy is totally different being lipid soluble it works to d...

Have you ever thought about making a version of your Benzoyl Peroxide that contains a retinoid like adapalene? Like an Acne.org version of Epiduo. That would be a pretty cool product in my opinion, ...

Pulsed Dye Laser will get rid of that 100% completely in 10 minutes + 2 weeks healing time. AHA may improve it 50% over 6 months...

How would not cleansing or moisturizing help? Your body is natural, chemicals are not. It works for me and millions of others. H20 is a natural chemical last time I checked.

After much research on the subject on the internet there is a general consensus that 90% of teenage acne is caused by demodex mites and that only 10% is caused by bacteria... No there really isn't.

Really? That's interesting taking Roaccutane for miliaria. What parts of your face / body do you get it? Doesn't it go away when u avoid sweating? Do you still go to gym? I avoid all strenuous exerci...

So you started using 3 active ingredients - clindamycin phosphate, benzoyl peroxide and differin lotion - all at the same time and conclude it's the differin lotion that's amazing? That's absolutely ...

Hi I've struggled with miliaria intermittently for many years. It's a pain in the ass isn't it?
