Accutane doesn't really fit in your "functional" philosophy, but then, neither do lasers, really. Thank you for your suggestion, Accutane affects the body in many ways & isn't long term. Whereas...

I believe in 'functional medicine' & finding the root cause of acne, but in the mean time life would be so much easier if my oil glands would calm down a bit.   I can't leave the house for m...

My hormone levels are perfect & never fluctuate, I think I am sensitive or intolerant of them (possibly) there are contradictions. Are you insulin resistant? Because that's easy to control through...

I'm so sick of trying to be understanding of other people not understanding what I'm going through, when I know they wouldn't leave their rooms if they woke up looking & feeling like I do. Before ...

Could acne be caused by Hormone Allergy / Intolerance / Sensitivity?  

I apologise, it is exhausting, & there are so many causes - well I hope you nip it in the bud soon. If anti-biotics work, maybe there's a gut flora, candida or food intolerance link there... sorry...

I don't think advising someone on how to save money & stop them from becoming allergic to a substance for life is being rude, I would never be rude to a skin disease sufferer, I'm just stating the...

Toothpaste dries, it doesn't stay wet, same with Aloe Gel (wow you don't seem very open to ideas) - well what if for example your acne was from a gluten intolerance & all your family had a gluten ...

What I mean is, 12 drops in a 30ml mixing bottle of carrier oil will last you a long time, whereas 12 drops straight on the face - won't go very far. Every bottle instructs dilution, risk harming your...

Use Frankincense oil for scarring. Why are you so intent on relying on man made drugs? Your acne can't bother you that much if you aren't willing to find the cause.

During my time as an acne sufferer I have crossed off the following: Over the counter Acne Products. Modern Medicine Medication. Thyroid & Hormone Testing. Kidney & Liver Function Tests. Food...

This is a nice testimonial for the treatment of skin disease caused by Demodex Parasites,

I see it so many times, people becoming sensitised to Lavender because they applied it directly to the skin, no essential oils should be applied directly to the skin without being diluted first, not t...

Have you had your hormone levels tested and been tested for food intolerances, could be you both had an allergy, hers went into remission, but yours actually worsened. Remember to use gentle products ...

Apply the toothpaste at night before bed - allergies hmmm, sure it's not an allergy causing your acne? Have you been tested for food intolerances? You MUST be gentle with your skin, rubbing it raw, th...

I think, although individual vitamin and mineral supplements are classified as alternative/natural therapy they are a very unnatural source of nutrition. The day I realised homeless and starving peopl...

This is why the government needs to recognise skin disease as more than a minor ailment. Some of us are confined to the house like lepers & suicide has been my every waking thought for years. &nbs...

Yes, Tea Tree Gel, Witch Hazel Gel, Aloe Gel - all good!

How about a natural anti-biotic like Odourless Garlic capsules? Be sure to take a pro-biotic since your medication, because drug based anti-biotics disturb the gut flora (a big cause of acne). P.S Gar...

PCOS sufferers must follow a Low GI diet in order to control their symptoms including acne. Supplements that help, Cinnamon (insulin control) & Saw Palmetto or Peppermint Tea (lower/block androgen...

I had to stop using Benzyl Peroxide, it turned my skin to sand paper, and it took about a week to heal. Maybe ask your Doctor about Benzamycin Gel (think it's called Duac now), that's wonderful for oi...

As much as I dislike Modern Medicine, Benzyl Peroxide can destroy the harshest of bumps, you can buy some over the counter, but be careful as it bleaches clothing.

Instructions should be on the bottle, it's normally 5 drops per 10ml, so in 30ml mixing bottle you could put in up to 15 drops, but I put 12 just to be safe, you don't want to become sensitised! Thank...

This won't be the cause of everyone's Acne, but if you've had all blood tests for hormones, thyroid, & food intolerance come back normal and your only health problem is skin disease it might be wo...

I use Sanex for Sensitive skin and Vaseline Aloe Vera moisturiser (it's oil free, light and non-clogging). These keep the skin clean and balanced, it's tempting to use harsh products on skin but you n...
