Of course it's possible to heal. How long have you been dealing with this? What's your current treatment?

Glad you had the regimen work for you! That's awesome! Maybe now that you've got your acne under control, you could cut back to using the regimen once a day...that may help reduce the redness. Goo...

Good question - I've wondered the same thing myself. I got chemical burns from their BP, but didn't find the current BP I'm using to irritate my skin at all (and it's the same percentage).

Personally, I would follow the regimen as they outline...otherwise you may not see changes/improvement.

I found the same thing with the acne.org BP. My skin was red, raw and flaky (and HURT). They recommend using too much, so I'd recommend cutting back on the amount (and to once a day) until you skin ...

Accutane would be my absolute last resort...it's really harsh and has tons of side effects, so unless it's cystic or severe, I would stay away to be honest.  Have you ever tried Unblemish?...

Pretty sure it will fade, but it will take awhile.

How long have you been on your current treatment? If you see some progress, I'd stick with it...it took me 5 months to get completely clear skin. So if you see a bit of improvement, stick with it (as...

Unfortunately our bodies become immune to antibiotics the longer we're on them and/or the more often we use them. I'd talk to your doctor to see if it's safe to up your dosage.

Yes this is definitely normal! It's a side effect, unfortunately.  The wrinkles are simply because of the dryness. You need to find a good moisturizer and apply that a few times a day to c...

Messaging you <3

Retin A would be good! It speeds up the skin's renewal process (IE: your skin turns over faster; so the marks should heal faster). Give it a try for a few months, and make sure to take progress pics....

Before clearing up my cystic acne, I was with my husband for 6 years (still with him..but my skin is good now). He never made me feel awkward, embarrassed, etc. I, of course, would always cover it ...

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this! It's definitely frustrating and discouraging, especially when you don't know if something will work. What are you currently using and how long ahve you been ...

I personally wouldn't take Accutane again..it's pretty harsh on the body. But of course, check and see what your doctor thinks (as they'd know best). I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, and I h...

This happened to me too. It looked like I had a sunburn for about a week - and it hurt!! I believe they recommend too much product. What I would do in the mean time is not use the BP until the redne...

Accutane was my last resort....I'm thankful I never had to take it, because it's so harsh on your body. Have you ever tried Unblemish? That was the last topical product I vowed I would use before goin...

Most likely hormonal - not even necessarily related to your period, but related to the stress hormone coritsol. Are you an easily stressed/anxious person? My acne was cystic and similar to yours...it...

I really don't think your acne is bad enough to go on Accutane...let that always be your last resort. Where do you live? I'd give the regimen Unblemish a shot. It was my "last hope" before going to t...

I would give it a chance for at least a month...if 0 improvement, then time to re-evaluate. I'm sorry you're experiencing a purge...it's tough to ride it out

That is so odd that you never saw healing! I did experience this, but I had a chemical burn from BP so luckily time (and laying off the BP) helped. Are you able to see your dermatologist to ask why ...

Not sure if it would be roascea; could just be irritation from acne. What products are you currently using?

It sounds like a chemical burn...I had used too much BP and it caused my skin to burn, turn super red, peel, hurt like a sunburn, etc. But it did heal within a couple weeks....how long have you been ...
