Hey Johnny, Can I ask what the characteristics of your new breakouts are? My skin texture got so terrible, a lot like yours, after I took an antibiotic for 8 months. However, I was also using a stron...

Yeah you could be having an adverse reaction, but it would be unusual to occur on only one side of your face. It could be your pillow or something. Regardless, that's a lot of medication. You could co...

shipping the acne.org products is somewhat cheaper if you buy them from US Amazon for some reason Just to confirm, you bought them off US Amazon with no problems with extra fees when they come to yo...

Part of the problem is that two weeks of the month, my skin is moderately clear--just covered in acne marks. Is something like Epiduo supposed to be preventative? Hey bizz, Epiduo is supposed to be...

Something I noticed when I was on Differin XP (which is just the adapalene by itself in 3x the concentration) was that my face got unbearably oily too, to the point where my finger would come away wet...

Sorry to hear you're suffering from this. Pustules are a nasty business indeed. Do you ever get the multi-headed ones? I'm interested because I started getting that kind of acne on my chin after taki...

It definitely is frustrating!! Especially when you watch every other person eat crap and treat their skin badly and have porcelain skin. I think you're going about your acne in the best way possible b...

Hi SpeciousHope, It's interesting to read that you have a fibroadenoma and have continuous cystic chin acne. I also have many in my one breast and persistent chin acne that is on the nodulocystic side...

@SqurrelMonkey: do you mean the Epiduo made you purge? Did it help or make your skin worse? It it help with blackheads and those pussy little whiteheads/clogged follicles? I would like smooth, clean ...

Hey aliengirl!   I read this whole thread and I can relate to you so much it's scary, down to my mother and sister having lovely skin (with my sister breaking out a bit in her 20s) and father h...

I'm currently trying epsom salt on my acne. I think it helped my clogged pores from becoming inflamed whiteheads but the clogged pores are still there. How long does it take to see clear results? I ...

And if you are getting pustules around your chin and mouth area then trust me, its because of the damage antibiotics have done to your gut. Oh my gosh, that is exactly what I got (and still have) af...

I know these pustules are very annoying but if you are really desperate then id say go for antibiotics. If not, I'd say stay away from them and take a really good probiotic with Bragg's apple cider vi...

I strongly advice you to stay away from antibiotics. They can make your acne even worse than before taking it. It kills the whole gut flora, acne may disappear for a few weeks but it is short term sol...

This is a year late, but I just wanted to add that going on trimethoprim is my biggest regret. I had such mild acne before taking it that I would actually look normal most days, and it even looked lik...

Oh, I see. My skin has always been on the drier side so having it be constantly oily sorta freaked me out. Maybe my skin grew extremely sensitive to both ingredients (bp + adapalene) and caused breako...

I get those ALL the time. It makes me feel uncomfortable too as i don't believe in popping. We do have similar acne i must say. Good luck with the naturopath. I've been to 3 in NYC and non of them...

Hey there! Just wondering if you have any opinions/experience with a filtering showerhead. I think there really is validity in the quality of water because the city I live in has highly chlorinated wa...

I tried this epsom salt remedy in the summer of 2012 - acne worsened to the point of need accutane. Be very careful with this Can I ask how long you tried it for? I'm just wondering (aka hoping) if...

Sadly, I think I'll have to go back on Epiduo because I can't take the hit on my self esteem!

Why thank you! I find that logging my experiences give validity to my feelings and frustrations. I went to another derm today to get a 2nd opinion about Spiro and surprise surprise, he diagnosed me w...

Can I ask if you're still using all your cleansing products with the tactuo? Just wondering because the pharmacist told me to use it with a gentle cleanser like Spectro. My skin didn't get too bad wit...

Hey bizz, Epiduo worked quite well for my pustular acne, but it did nothing when I developed the huge, deep, painful chin pimples.
