Calumma

Yes, but also Doxy pills. And Black tea pads ( really strong ). This is a very common advice ( even my new derm gave it to me) for POD and first it sounded kind of weird, but it worked really well.

In my opinion this is a steroid- induced perioreal dermatitis. For some people it produces little fluid filles pustules, rather than just skin redness. The skin barrier has beed destroyed by the use o...

At the point I started PC, I did not have inflamed acne anymore because of the spiro. But the remains of my last breakout were hundreds of little closed comedones and little bumps all over my forehead...

They work great for me, but they do both unfortunately. The breakout is not bad though, rather like little whiteheads that can be wiped off and are invisible the next day. I use the 2% gel twice daily...

Try this pharmacy : Apotheke in Belgien [Edited link out] It is in Belgium but they shipped meds to germany that were discontinued here, so maybe they also ship to GB. I know that site is in german, I...

In very rare cases (my friend is an IBCLC lactation assistant , I don't know the correct word in english, and I asked her about this because I never heard about it) a flat nipple can turn into an inve...

Oh you find it on the homepage or via search function on the forum. Dan posted a few vids about it, and you also find them on youtube. You can do it with acne.org products or with drugstore/OTC produc...

I would really suggest 2 things : 1. try to eliminate dairy , junk food and sugar peaks from your diet for a few weeks. Substitute the bad stuff with zink and omega 3 2. try the regimen exactly as de...

Those kinds of zits for me perfectly responded to the regimen btw

I would say no , it looks like regular acne vulgaris to me.this is what mine used to be minus the cysts I had

Subscribe to the previous posters that recommend BHA and AHA peels. I love the combination of Paula's Choice 2% gel daily and every 2-3 days I substitute my evening BHA with the 10% AHA from the week...

That will take a while, rather months than weeks. Diane 35 used to be the ultimate weapon against acne in germany until it was forbidden.

I don't know Dianette? We had a BCP here called Diane 35. It was very helpful with acne after a few months because it contained anti-androgenic ingredients, but they took it off the market because of ...

I do not think so, acne around mouth usually occurs in hormonal acne or as fluoride toothpaste reaction.

It might not be the hormones themselves, but rather a oversensitivity to DHT , whose receptors are blocked by Spiro.

The combination of your symptoms is classical for hormone related issues. So you should get your hormones checked and I bet spironolactone would help you.   Any physical peeling irritated my ski...

I use them daily myself, because I get closed comedones especially on my temples and cheeks

I think it is important that she knows that the pill is not a "green card" for early teenage sex, if that is what she fears. Although our teenagers often are on it very early, they do not have earlier...

I would suggest a 2% salicylic peel daily and once in a while an 10% AHA product (2-3 times a week for the night). That kills those little guys. I use the Paukas Choice 2%BHA Gel and the weekly resurf...

Aaah I hate those. I do not think Salicylic Acid once will help. I use it in 2% twice a day and 2- 3 times a week I substitute my night salicylic acid product with 10% AHA. This does clean out the por...

I use the avene cleanance cleanser.

I bet it was the primer. Primers generally do stuff like that to my skin, I cannot tak one, not even the expensive ones

See if she was my daughter, I would look at the type of acne. In case of it being more superficial and a mild case, I would definatey try the regimen first. But if it is cystic or even causes scarring...

Yes I think it is purging. It lasted for a good month

It is quite common here for girls this age to go on the pill to prevent teenage pregnancies, regardless of acne or not. I was put on one back then with 13 and it did wonders for my skin. And unlike lo...
