They took before and after photos but I didn't get the photos from them. I suppose I could call and ask if they'll give them to me. No, I didn't take any myself.

Acne.org's AHA lotion seems to work really well for when I'd get cysts and scabby zits. Not sure why, but it would heal faster and be less likely to scar or not as darkly. I also recommend an antibact...

Micellar water sounds pretty harmless, but I don't know what brand you're using and its exact ingredients. IMO thorough removal of makeup is pretty important, so I think it's a good idea to make sure ...

I decided to try Clear and Brilliant because it's a relatively affordable laser with no downtime. I didn't have high expectations but was hoping for some improvement of my texture. I had a few very ...

If you can hide out for a day to let it heal, do so. Put some antibacterial ointment like neosporin on it (or I personally like a colloidal silver wound ointment) and place a small circle bandaid over...

My skincare is mostly Korean. I love it! Its not a 10 step but it is pretty lengthy. The ingredients are awesome for the price. See my sig for my exact routine. My focus is on - thorough makeup remov...

  So I went to the derm today & she said that it will just take time for the retin-a to clear up my comedal acne. I saw the derm's assistant also (forget his exact title) and he said the sa...

^ No it's NOT bad for teens, IMO, because as mentioned, most "anti-aging" ingredients are really just anti-inflammatory (ie. red pimples are inflamed, so anti-inflammatory stuff helps prevent/heal the...

I just started up on tazarortene again about 8 weeks ago. I had a difficult dry period & my skin was blotchy & raw looking, but the acne was clearing, so I persevered. Then I decided to repla...

I find many foundations with silicones to break me out a bit more than normal if I use them on a regular basis...maybe it's another ingredient in there, but the pattern is the same. However, occasiona...

For department stores, I like Origins. I've heard good things about Sephora's Makeup Forever HD foundation, but I haven't tried it. For drugstore, I second Almay as pretty good. I like mineral makeu...

I am wondering if some of the people posting about these mysterious chin bumps have sebaceous hyperplasia (enlarged oil glands)? Well, it's good to know there is another possible culprit, although i...

No problem! Ah yes, the whole Retin-a routine...Keep using it if it limits new pimples from springing up. If I were you, I'd start saving up and go straight to a doctor that specializes in laser acne ...

I really don't think these are scars. mine all have an underlying plug that is impossible to remove, theyre just so deep. siouxsie, yours dont look like scars. Well, they don't feel like raised scar...

Unfortunately, creams and antibiotics will not help in treating your raised hypertrophic scar formations on the chin area. The only treatment that will significantly reduce the size of your scar clust...

I wonder if this is associated with hair growth. I know that at least for the facial hair under my lip, my follicles are raised and bumpy. But as you have found, they aren't painful and there is nothi...

I had the same thing a while ago (at least i think), though much less severe, and I just squeezed the pus out of the bumps. I applied Bp after, and they haven't really come back since. My bumps are...

Hey guys! I went to see my derm again and tried asking my derm what these things on my chin were. I stretched out the skin on my chin and jaw so my derm could see the bumps easier. She took a look ...

I had the bumps before I went on antibiotics...so that theory does not work for me. I have been on antibiotics for over 2 years (& I am currently on them). Right now, I am on Bactrim DS. Honestly,...

I realize this is an ancient thread, but I have yet to find a solution. I was on retin-a for a good 2 years, then I was switched to tazorac (another vitamin-a derivative treatment), which I found even...

Siouxise- I also use lachydrin five lotion. No huge improvment tho Yeah...it pretty much just helps with flakes, not comedal acne. I like it as a moisturizer though.

Anyone have updates on their chin?! My chin is still bumpy...

I'm pretty sure I have this on my legs.... - It gets worse in heat/humidity - I think tetracycline has made it worse (oral anti-biotics make it worse, right?) - A derm once prescribed an anti-fungal &...

I went to the derm. This new derm seems a lot better. He was really nice, and seems to specialize in acne cases. He told me few people need to see him more than twice, meaning he gets them a skin care...
