Soy is not bad for you if you eat in normal quantities like in tofu or soy milk. If you eat it in concentrated forms like protein powders then it is bad for you. But this is true of many concentrate...

I buy Traditional Medicinals "Organic Roasted Dandelion Root" tea from our local health food store. You can also purchase it online. Just had some this morning...delicious with soy milk. I shake up ...

So sorry to hear about the NHS and difficulty changing derms. That makes it much harder! That said, there are some things you can still do. The BP cleanser Panoxyl 4% used to be prescription but no...

This is a form of acne...closed raised comedones. They don't look red or infected but are pores that are extended with excess sebum. You can get rid of these flesh colored bumps by using a BP cleans...

Just to let you know...I have a very similar reaction if I apply BP topically - even at the lowest dose. I'm not sure why using a BP cleanser doesn't cause this reaction but it is likely due to the f...

So sorry to hear you are suffering with cystic acne. I know the agony you are going through. I have totally clear skin now and hope what I have to share will be of help to you. I became clear two w...

Yes, microdermabrasion done by a professional is okay for sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin and do just fine with it. The key is finding someone who is a true professional and not some teenager ...

No, it does not have caffeine. But actually you may find that you can do without caffeine which also adds to inflammation. I used to think I had to have caffeine in the morning but I don't. Took ab...

Everyone is different but for me any kind of processed oil (natural, organic or otherwise, including margarine, butter, vegetable oil, coconut oil, etc) has not been good for either my digestion nor m...

A monthly microdermabrasion will help to open up pores and get rid of dead skin that clogs things up. It made a huge difference for me and helped my topical meds to work much better. Well worth the ...

Okay --- first off it is going to take some changes to get your system to calm down. Years ago I was in a similar situation as yours. Reacting to everything...horrid acne erupting overnight continua...

If you are an adult with acne you may also be dealing with some rosacea. If so, then ingesting apple cider vinegar may cause acne-like flare-ups. I have rosacea in addition to acne and have to avoid...

I hope the all natural methods work for you. Unfortunately they never worked for me. I am very big into natural foods and methods of healing and it was hard to finally admit after decades (yes, deca...

Hi Cob I had much the same problem, although I used another well known 3-step BP program...same thing though. It just never really worked. Yes, I had less pimples but I was still breaking out every...

Honey is the same as white sugar to the body. Doesn't matter that it's natural. Yes, it does have some nutrients which is great for people who are not acne prone but if you get acne then you have to...

My husband and I both really like the lotion my derm recommended called "DML Moisturizing Lotion". It was specifically developed for acne prone sensitive skin and for use after plastic surgery...so y...

Acne took many many years (decades) of my life away from me because I was consumed by how I looked, by how much my skin hurt, and fears about what others thought about me. It took decades to get a re...

Keep going! It takes months to finally get clear...as old acne works its way out. My skin has now been clear for several years and keeps improving as scarring fades and skin tone evens out. I think...

Can you see a dermatologist? PCOS is usually treated with birth control pills which you say don't work for you so you'll have to do something different. Spironolactone might be a better choice since...

If you are using tretinoin then yes you need to use lotion because tretinoin is so irritating. Lotion helps skin heal and is a protective barrier. Acne products like tretinoin strip that barrier and...

This is great! So glad to hear it's working. You'll have setbacks from time to time...usually when hormones surge monthly but overall things will be under control and easier to live with. FYI --- b...

Don't be afraid of accutane. I had terrible cystic acne and did it twice in my late 20's. Only side effect was chapped lips. While on it I was clear (...a wonderful respite from cysts...) and after...

My acne looked like yours and my derms diagnosed it as cystic acne. Nodules typically are so deep they don't come to a head but cysts can come to a head...although it can take a long time. Although ...

I never got an initial breakout when using doxy. All I got was a continuation of my usual acne, although less, as the pores finally cleaned out. This process took months. But as each month went by ...

Yes --- this is a nodule or a very inflamed cyst. I used to get cysts like this. It looks like you have other cysts happening, as well as common acne, and oily skin. You should see a derm to proper...
