Hi jen16_! I was just wondering if you are still around to read this, what did you do in the end and how did it go?

Hmmm I don't know to be honest, but it looks like a rash, not acne. Could your skin be reacting to one of the products?

Also, I don't know if it is advised against using it with folliculitis, but if it's not, you should try rosehip oil. It's an oil for sensitive skin, people with acne use it because it helps fights spo...

Sorry to hear about what happened! I think you should try Pai's rosehip oil, it's really good. It moisturises the skin and fights against spots too! It balances the skin. You should give it a go. I u...

I wouldn't go for another acne treatment, it might damage your skin even more. If neither yazmin or accutane worked it's probably not acne! I agree that you should get appointments with different derm...

Can you specify which vitamins you take? Is there anything in particular you changed 3-4 months ago that you can think of? It seems random but acne shows up just like that in many cases. Could it be ...

I agree, glycolic acid might be the way to go. I use nip+fab's glycolic fix serum overnight 3 times a week and it works really well!

It doesn't look like acne to me... Maybe some sort of eczema? Can you see a different doctor?

Doesn't sound good... How many times a day do you use it? Maybe you should slowly introduce it, use it only twice on the first week, then 3 times a week, then 4 times and so on... If your skin still r...

Can you give more details of your diet and skincare routine?

I've never had acne in cycles like you seem to have - mine was with me all the time (yay!) but I switched to sensitive skin skincare and I find out that it works much better for me then the acne prone...

Don't worry there is a solution! It just takes some time to find it. I know it's annoying. Bare with me here - I think you should try Pai's rosehip oil. I know I said oil! It works really well on oil...

We all have those days but remember you are not alone, thousands of people suffer from acne! Finding the right treatment requieres lots of trial and error so don't give up and keep fighting. There is...

Hmmm I've never heard anything like the black tape advice before... It sounds like an experiment to me.  You need to give products more than two weeks to see if they work though, I know it...

It's not too bad but it looks like you have been picking? You need to stop that! You can try over the counter products. Rosehip oil could work, so could Benzoyl Peroxide but it dries out the skin quit...

I use Avene's cleanance mate and works great, controls oil. It's not a heavy duty moisturiser but I use it every morning with rosehip oil at night and it's good even in winter.

Have you been to the dermatologist's? If your acne is severe acne medications from the store won't be enough. Also, you shouldn't use soap to wash your face, you need a soap-free cleanser.

Don't panic! There is a solution and you will find it. You just need to be patient and try what works for you. You say you've had clear skin "your whole life" and then you go on to say you just turned...

So sorry to hear about your mum and all the stress you had to cope with!  I can't really help as I've never tried but I have heard people say they seen a big improvement within hours, so b...

I'm so sorry to hear about your pain, it sounds awful and I hope it goes away soon. Not sure if this is something you have tried already but rosehip oil is really good for cystic acne. I wasn't crazy...

I've never tried that combination, in fact I have never tried differin. But Duac contains benzoyl peroxide and that has worked for me in the past. It could dry your skin more though, so be prepared. M...

Hi Kieranglynn, I'm no expert but if you have only taken the pill for 7 days your body and hormones should balance back to normal pretty quickly. Don't panic and don't take any rushed decisions, I'm s...

I recommend rosehip oil, I swear it won't make your skin oily or break you out! It balances the skin by making it less oily and more hydrated. It's really good. I use Pai's one but I think any will do...

My pleasure! I hope it helped and I'm sure you will look better in no time. Remember you are not alone and thousands of people go through the same situation, and they get better! You'll get there too ...

Hi again! I think it's a good idea to stay away from harsh chemicals, although I've never tried the "only water" approach. If you are gonna use anything on your skin, I wouldn't use products designed ...
