ComplexIssues

Hate&Love: You should not have applied the olive oil and sugar to your face! That is for exfoliation, and you should never exfoliate atrophied skin. Besides, I only do that once a month. I suggest...

I'm sorry for being M.I.A for so long, yes I discontinued use of the 40 mg accutane pills and have been unsuccessful at getting them compounded so there goes 200+ $$ down the drain. My skin has contin...

Sorry, I do not want to turn my PM function on. If you have a question, please post it to the board so that everyone can participate and benefit from the exchange of information. Oh, I was just g...

Mrs. Z, can you enable the PM function, I'd like to send you a message.

Mrs. Z,   Interesting information. A few questions if you don't mind:   1.) Did your skin have this itchy tingling sensation from time to time?   2.) Did your skin have some bumps and r...

Mrs. Z,   I read an article about demodex mites....And it said something about these over populated infestations occurring mainly in women and it's due to lack of cleansing and over use of produc...

Mrs. Z,   does alcohol consumption affect mites on the skin?

Mrs. Z,   Fortunately, I am not mental and for the last 3 months I did stay with one derm, in which I saw her 3-4 times before she pawned me off to an associate. Their conclusion was I just have ...

ComplexIssues: Thank you for the compliment. I take it this means you have forgiven me for doing the same to you? I want you to read what Wistar says in this thread. Is that what you are experiencing...

Mrs. Z   I love the way you call out people (I'm not being sarcastic). If I had to guess, do you work in a technical field?     Halfpipe, you seem well intentioned, but is English your ...

Madzippy,   It can be frustrating to deal with a rash problem especially when you see more than one derm who is seeing you for the first time. I hope you've finally put it behind you.

My regimen since Late Feb/Early March has been:   1.) Applying Epiceram moisturizing ceram in the morning and at night.   2.) About a month later, I was given Atopiclair, a non-steroid cream...

ComplexIssues - let me be frank with you... YOU ARE YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY I am sure that your skin problems are real and traumatic for you. But, I agree with halfpipe without posting a picture of y...

Halfpipe,   The topical the derm prescribed for me is called Epiduo, which is a new gel containing Differin and 2%bp. It's supposed to be not so harsh on the skin...The reason why he chose this t...

Directed to Mrs. Z, or LionQueen, or anybody with experience dealing with atrophied skin:   I went to a derm today and he said that differin is good for treating inflammation and has anti-microbi...

Can eczema make the skin seem atrophied in regards to it not being able to withstand washing with water? I've been using a special moisturizer for two months and it doesn't seem to really get better.....

Mrs. Z,   Interesting information, thanks again.   I think my eczema might involve a little bit of rosacea because it still gets red after showering with lukewarm water and I noticed it turn...

Mrs. Z,   I wrote you a followup/thank you message but discovered you've already disabled your messaging.   Thanks again for your generous time, promptness, and effort.   I am truly ind...

Mrs. Z,   would you consider allowing a PM from me? I need to ask you a few questions regarding my condition; I know you are not an expert, but I feel it would benefit my "war" against this terri...

What does it mean, when I put aquaphor on my rash/red area and it seems to aggravate it? Shouldn't it help with eczema? Could it be some type of fungus/yeast? But I tried putting an anti-fungal on an ...

I've experienced the same thing before: Put a steroid cream for a rashy patch, and then have several other patches appear on different parts of my face for no reason! Then it got really bad and someho...

Does anybody have any theories?! I feel like a freak.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I've run into a similar situation with my skin which I have been absolutely baffled and need help in putting together a theory. If Mrs.Z or any of the wise post...

Recently I took an ALCAT test which tests for all kinds of food and substance intolerances.   An intolerance is not necessarily an allergy; food intolerances causes a reaction in the digestive sy...

Bobby D,   Calm yourself fool, you're being way too aggressive.   The idea that your mind can actually heal or get rid of acne, would lead to speculation that it can cure cancer too right? ...
