Yasmin helped my acne (which is the same as Yaz with a longer period?). I hardly ever got any breakout at all. But it gave me weight gain and IBS. These symptoms disappeared after coming off it, but I...

I know but I was on Yasmin years ago, went off it and spent SO long getting my hormones back to normal! It just did not agree with me (and I gained some weight on it). Although I hear there are now lo...

Argh I hate stubborn acne! Everyone has listed some great suggestions and Cassie is spot on with the hormones. I used to get cystic acne on my chin in my teen years, i'd get a hot wash cloth and hol...

Thanks I first tried the 2.5% and had no effect so I swapped to the 5% which helps a bit. Haven't used it in a week or so though. I know it's mild acne but for me it's a lot worse than normal. I never...

I was looking through my camera, and my skin was considerably clearer back in march with only a few minor and bumps and one zit on the chin. Now it's breaking out all over the place . Anyone have any...

Keratosis Pilaris, the rough bumpy skin that can form on upper arms and legs. It looks like 'chicken skin'. I can't believe mine has come back after being free of it for up to 3 years ! I wasn't even ...

It might not even be hormonal, I think most females get it. It could be genetic too, I have a french background and we're known to get more hair! It sucks. I just use hot wax, it's great for sensitive...

Which areas on your body are you looking to get it done? I find it works better on some areas and is useless on the face . Just call some laser centers and ask if they specializing in treating darker...

At the beginning of a ketogenic diet I believe my skin actually started to break out on my shoulders (but quickly cleared it up with Protex soap). Maybe it was all the sweating at the gym? Anyway it'...

I also don't use tap water, I buy distilled water. It might be cheaper for you than buying evian to wash your face? Also there are no minerals so it can't clog your pores. I heat some up in a mug in t...

My chest gets tiny red bumps, but not like 'blackheads'. I've stopped using a body lotion which contained Mineral Oil as it's known to clog pores. Searching for the alternative.

Doesn't show any acne correlation here. I read it's rare to transfer to humans but now am very confused.

Great work . Parents don't realize but it's irresponsible for them not to care about their child's acne. If left untreated it can cause major scarring and psychological effects. I was lucky my mother ...

"This medication isn't a first line of defense against acne breakouts. It is only effective against acne caused by hormonal fluctuations. But it can be especially helpful for women with hormonal disor...

Ok you should atleast be able to get Benzoyl Peroxide 5-10% over the counter. Start off with the 5%. Sounds like you have cystic acne which is also infected, go get into your doctor and get those anti...

I am surprised it would cause or make acne worse? How old are you? Maybe your hormones are just going all over the place at the moment, like unbalanced so sometimes you feel like masturbating more and...

I wear Lancome Teint Idole Foundation (which is discontinued! i stocked up at the airport They have a 24hr one now but i did not like it as much ) I use Simple wipes to remove the majority of my ma...

Tretioin increases cell turnover so maybe these are acne's that were already deep in your skin and have just come to surface? I know nothing about the other ingredient.

If you can't get in to see a dermatologist, often a regular GP has the power to prescribe you medications for your skin (not too sure about Accutane though). Tell us WHICH treatments you have tried, a...

Your type of acne is like mine. I get exactly what you do on your forehead!! Congested pores. STOP the soap now. I personally use Dermalogica and have for years and love it but it's quite expensive (...

My stepmother is Chinese and she gave me some pills for cold once..and well they were amazing. I also take chinese herbs for bladder problems and pains, seems to help. I don't notice any side effects...

Thanks! I will definitely give this a try and let you know it goes. I have been wanting to try coconut oil (for cooking lol) for some time. Think I should treat my skin with it instead .
