I hope this works for you! Did you go to a homeopathic doctor? I've also tried the all natural route but sadly it just didn't work. The homeopathic doctors tried but their treatments didn't begin t...

I agree --- keep on calling and pestering to see a dermatologist. Adult acne at our age really needs an expert. For me any amount of sugar will cause a flare-up. I must be ultra-sensitive! Followi...

Hi Emily Can you see a dermatologist? I agree with above on diet...but sometimes diet isn't eneough...or it just takes a very long time for the change in diet to make a difference (years?). I used...

You are still young so your acne may just go away as your hormones calm down later in your 20's. Many people have that happen. In that case anti-androgens like spiro are getting you through a rough ...

Hi Battle --- it's hard to know what to eat when trying to clear up acne! From what my dietician has me on and what I've read works for many people, it seems avoiding sugars, dairy, caffeine, alcohol...

You know it might be! My son uses a tea tree oil shampoo he gets in bulk from the health food store. It has a pepperminty kind of smell and makes the skin tingle. He originally got it for dandruff ...

Head and Shoulders will work if you have what is called "seborrheic acne-prone skin". This is a quote from the Eucerin site:   In seborrhoea, an increase in sebum secretion (i) causes excessive...

Almond milk makes me break out. I also seem to do better on soy milk...but not eating lots of soy...just soy milk.   I would say you may want to keep on using a perscription retinoid. Don't s...

Hi Littlevoice! I'm so sorry you're struggling with that horrid cyst. I've had many of them myself and know how hard it is to look in the mirror when one is staring back at you! Might be a good idea...

I'm currently going dairy-free. I think it may be helping a little bit but like anything natural I'm sure it'll take a long time before I see any real significant change - especially since I've been ...

I'm following your log because I also use Spironolactone. I've been on it for years and recently my derm upped my dose to 50mg 2x/day (total 100mg/day). It's working pretty well. The total number o...

Yes, I've looked into the internal issues...trying to find the cause for the acne. Have been doing this now for 30+ years. Each time I discover a new idea I think "This is it - now my acne will go a...

Thanks onelittleone and elfgirl --- it feels good to vent and to know there are others out there my age! I keep trying to be okay with this and not obsess about it but it's so hard in our culture. A...

I'm 58 and still struggling. Have tried and done everything - meds, topicals, Dan's BP regime, diet, everything. The only thing that works best is antibiotics and I can't take those forever. I think...

Well I'm still struggling with this curse and I'm 58. Accutane years ago made it somewhat better. BP fried my skin. Oral antibiotics work wonders but I can't take them all the time. I'm on Retin-A...
