Wow. That pretty much sums up what I thought after reading all this. All that you have been through to try and fix your skin. Ive heard that type of acne is very rare and severe. Im so glad that you d...

You may need an antibiotic. Have you talked to your gp/doctor?

Ohh I needed the same thing as I get those pimples on my back. I use the La Roche-Posay Effaclar wash and the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo (its a moisturiser but it works soooo well on comedones!) Ive ...

Firstly thats a really good camera! (And i love the glitter!) I have never heard of that happening before but I guess that unless it happens again, try not to worry about it. Acne can appear in very o...

On the Caveman Regimen your skin will go through alot of changes. You cant just give up at the first change. It takes anywhere from 6 weeks to even 12 weeks for some people before they see results wit...

Hi. Yeah your skin will look worse because there is nothing to take the bacteria away. Try very mild products. Cetaphil is good. It cleared up my skin (until my acne became hormonal) its very gentle.

Spironolactone, thats to get rid of fluid retention. Because of my anorexia there is no way any dr would ever give that to me. Ive already been hospitalized way too often for electrolyte/dehydration l...

Hey Nathan, sorry for the delay and thank you for your reply. I decided to stick with what the derm said, though to be honest im not so happy about it but im just DESPERATE for this acne to be gone. ...

Yep I agree with this too. Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% is best to start with and if you can tolerate that, then the 5% is great and it does work quite fast I reckon.

So many products available are just plain crap. I have tried sooo many and they just dont do anything or they irritate and make things worse. Even my gp/doctor said they are all just a waste of money....

Im not too sure that Epiduo is working. Have you seen your dermatologist lately, maybe you need something a bit different? Keep us updated.

Ohh I am so glad to hear that. It is definitely normal. Im 31 and still get them. I wish I had been allowed to see a dermatologist when I first started getting them. I wish you all the best.

This is amazing results! Ive just stared Epiduo a week ago and though I eased into it like my dermatologist said, now that im up to using it overnight, it makes my face red. It burns too but thats jus...

I really really wish that there was a way to get rid of them that fast but the best thing you can do is not touch them. When you touch them, even lightly, it makes them angry and red and more noticabl...

Bp is very strong, what dosage did you use? Maybe try the lowest of 2.5% unless that is the one you tried. Maybe its time you saw your doctor/gp for a script for something like Doxycycline? Thats a pr...

Have you thought about going back to your gp/doctor or your derm?

Im not sure sorry hun. Its hard to see what your talking about.

Hi hun. The worst thing you can do is pop them. As you noticed, it just makes them worse. Everytime you pop them they will come back. I know its hard, and im so sorry your going through this. Have you...

Ohh wow thats really good results  

Over the past 5 months when my acne got really bad, It spread to my cheeks and forehead, but my main areas are around my mouth and chin/jawline. I pretty much get all types of acne but blackheads are ...

Your skin is actually very good. Have you tried a low dose of benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (in australia is called benzac ac gel 2.5%). Ive found it works one my tiny bumps like the ones you have. You dont n...

YES! I have anorexia so I know that not enough fat can cause these types of breakouts. Ive recently started eating healthy fats (somehow have NOT gained weight) but my acne is definitely better and I ...

I hope that this works for you. I got to the 3 week mark and could not handle the purging. My skin just didnt seem to work with this but ive heard it can for some but thats really only if your breakou...

JCD97b said it perfectly. All true. If they care, they arent somebody you want as a friend. If that person is a friend, they wont care. This quote says it all, "Those Who Mind Don’t Matter, and Thos...

Im thinking stress? Hows your stress levels been. The person above is right about it being many factors and no matter how well you take care of your face, they can just happen. Maybe hormonal acne con...
