Hi - cystic acne around my mouth and chin has been a problem for me too. I've finally been clear 15 months; I use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% every night on my problem area.

Wow, that's impressive! I have a few of these myself (I'm 49; it's definitely an age related thing), I might give that a try!

I haven't gone dairy-free, I've just stopped using milk in my morning cereal and stopped eating yogurt (which I had been eating quite a bit of during the time I was really breaking out). I still eat c...

I've had mild/very mild acne for most of my adult life but it has been worse the last few years (possibly caused from the pill - the type I take is known to make some people's skin worse) but I had a ...

Sorry you've broken out. I took lymecycline (similar to minocycline) for 8 weeks at the beginning of the year and it worked great - not one blemish in 8 weeks, but obviously it doesn't work for every...

Glad to hear your skin is clearing up, you might want to research alternative acne remedies for when you plan to start a family.

Fingers crossed it goes away quickly! I had perioral dermatitis during pregnancy which I couldn't take anything for... you do what you gotta do!   Good luck!

Hi What worked for me was using the acne fighting products on my trouble zones even when my skin is clear. In the past, I only used them on my current acne, but (due to excessive dryness) wouldn't us...

I suspect a troll.   Anyway, Madeleine24, you are absolutely right, my husband and I were both athletic (in fact, my husband still is). Our son is not very athletically inclined but is very acad...

Good luck finding a woman to agree to be impregnated based on your 'specifications' and then allow you to groom her child to become an 'athletic beast'! Lol

Hi - I really feel for you both, I'm a mother to teens as well, but it's me who has the acne - not them! I took lymecycline successfully earlier this year, but before I went to the doctor I did try ...

My 12 year old daughter sometimes gets tiny spots on her forehead, the first time it happened she was only 11 and they covered her forehead. I gave her BP to use but showed her how to use it with only...

The only way I can get rid of cysts is to let them run their course. I try to exfoliate everyday (I use a piece of tape to gently pull up dead skin) and I also apply aha lotion to them every night. I ...

It hasn't broken me out at all, though I did have to start slowly with it. I am still not at the point of using it by itself (I mix a small amount with my moisturiser) except on one side of my chin wh...

Keratosis Pilaris?

Evening Primrose Oil is supposed to be good for hair, skin & nails. I take 2 x 1000mg per day but haven't found it to be particularly useful for much (I took it primarily for my acne) - apart fr...

I am a parent to a 15 year old boy and 12 year old girl who luckily have pretty clear skin (as I did at that age). However, my daughter was getting tiny spots on her forehead which I gave her some BP ...

I have no idea, I'm sorry. bareMinerals have a very large range of colours and are *meant* to be good for your skin.

I have taken antibiotics on a few occasions. Minocycline for perioral dermatitis which did prevent it from coming back (for the most part - I had flare-ups when I was pregnant). I recently took lymecy...

I would go to your GP and get onto some antibiotics. The acne might come back after you've finished the course, but by then you should hopefully be starting with relatively clear skin for another regi...

Several years ago I started using BP to get rid of acne I started getting on my cheeks and nose. I didn't know anything about "the regimen" or acne.com for that matter, but I only used BP as a treatme...

Have you spoken to your gp? I used to see a dermatologist many years ago for a rash on my face. One time I had a bad breakout but couldn't get a quick appointment with my derm, so I went to see my GP...

I'm not sure if dermatologists apply (don't see why not though) but you can jump the queue if you pay for a private consultation, but then everything else will be covered on the NHS including follow-u...

I am currently using Olay Gentle Cleanser Conditioning Milk; it's very gentle and does not over dry my skin. It's pretty cheap anyway, but I got it at Home Bargains where everything is cheaper!  ...
