Nobody?

Hi! I have a question which may appear stupid. I am on a course of Amoxicillin right now. 2x a day. I took a tablet this morning, and the one next 2 it also came out of its protective s...

I am so angry at myself. Had achieved clear skin after 20 years of battling against acne. Sure it was quite dry, but I had no more active pimple. I thought: What the heck! Maybe I can try something ne...

Thanks everybody! Will stop using foam then. Clearly my skin is irritated and angry at the moment. It needs a break from all the products. How do you use the tissue to wipe off cleanser/lotion thoug...

Adult acne is awful. I think I found my main trigger: Water. 3 rounds of Accutane and countless topical/oral antibiotics or harsh creams/soaps have impacted my facial skin barrier. I do not have brea...

Thanks for that. The popped area now has a large scab and the area around it turned purplish. Still hurting, but not oozing. Have put some ointment on it and will put a bandaid tonight. Really wonder ...

I have had one of those large cystic type of pimple. Started its lifecycle on Saturday with a painful red area on my chin. Continued on Sunday, still painful and small raised bump. Continued on Monday...

Yeah I personally wouldn't even go near that, but it's up to you. Never heard of it either Probably won't either. Just looking for a solution to wash my skin without having yet another huge breakout...

by the way, I read about propolis tincture. Anyone every tried this? Yeah, you really only benefit from exercising, especially if you don't do it regularly. I'm glad your face is getting better! I k...

anyone ever tried this on pimples?

Is the caveman regimen when you just wash your face with water? If so, that's what I do, but every 3-4 days I use a cleanser. Same goes with shampoo unless I put wax on, which then I would use a bit o...

I've never done the caveman regimen, but most traditional cleansing, moisturizing, and even acne products break me out. I'm sure if I was a guy and using shaving cream on my face that would break me o...

It's good you took out dairy, wheat/gluten. They were a primary cause in my case, but everyone is different. I never had a problem with fish before, I still eat it everyday as an overall source of nut...

I can relate to what you are going through in terms of overhaul of diet, topicals, etc and having NOTHING work. It sucks. With that said, it may be helpful to put your situation in the hands of some...

Do you break out randomly? You might've heard this many times, but how's your diet? Diet is very healthy. Have taken away all forms of dairy and wheat or gluten. Also removed sugar. Lately though, I...

Skin is now in a transition state. 6 pimples, all on one side. 4 very white pustules which I guess will slowly go away. 1 boil like pimple slowly coming out which I am treating with fucidin H. 1 boil ...

Have you tried using rubbing alcohol as a toner on your face? Have you considered laser hair removal or electrolysis? Trying laser hair removal might be my next option. I am now looking at how I cou...

Same feeling today.... Pustular breakout with itchy rashes.... Shouldn't have gone to sauna....

Have you tried taking an oral antibiotic? I did. Pretty much all of them over the course of last 20 years.... Not sure what to recommend, but don't give up. As much as acne can impact us, the peo...

20 years that I am battling acne on and off. I have had every single treatment known, including 3 rounds of accutane. Recently, through sample analysis, I found out the bacteria in my pimples is s.epi...

I have tried every treatment available out there including 3 rounds of accutane. And I still get acne, reaching into my 40s. Not severe, but if I eat junk food or use a moisturizer, my face just break...

Caveman regimen is terrible. It's a no-go for somebody with acne. If you don't wash your face, dead skin cells stay on your skin which is well, gross. Not only is it gross, it also affects your acne n...

I've read a few posts saying that tap water may be the source for the acne. Thinking about it I figured out that when I wash my face I have redness and pimples but when I don't wash it at all it looks...

This condition is an immune system issue. It could be from viruses, hormonal or guy issues. I've tried since, biotin, Probiotics, tea tree oil, sulfur soap and gold bond lotion. All methods work but i...

If your skin is irritated, you should use aloe vera gel from the plant (it's better and cheaper). And for daily moisturizer I would use Avocado oil. Also don't use chemicals on your face, it destroys ...
