Hi silverlight. It did, yes. I did not experience an IB after weaning. I'd advise stopping the antibiotics, as they really are bad for your body. Wean, and take probiotics, and hopefully you will be j...

hi wicky. i feel ya on the frustration. and yes, not know what it is makes it oh so difficult to treat. as far as my chin goes, the whiteheads are really superficial and always pop when i lightly scra...

Hi Russmea... thanks for your input. I, like you, have since changed my regimen, too. I'm no longer using the primrose oil and am instead using zinc cream on the spots. HOWEVER, I am totally with you ...

Sdpinkas, thank you for your advice as well. I'm fairly certain these bumps are PD, and I'd be afraid to treat them with AHA -- my chin area is SO reactionary, and PD can be irritated at the slightest...

Oh yes, I've researched it all. I think I've read the entire internet. :/ I stopped bc about a month and a half ago, and used baking soda for 2 weeks (after using no sls/flouride for a year) to brush ...

Thanks so much, paigems. Nope, no use of lip balm or any products, really. I wash with water and spot treat bigger bumps w/ an evening primrose oil-based concoction (which I've also eliminated in the ...

Hi all. I’ve posted my fair share of desperate pleas on this board, asking for help with my perioral dermatitis, and so far, nothing has worked. It appeared about four years ago, and...

I've never experienced a viral outbreak that I know of. After some quick googling, calcified bone lumps seem to be something totally different... these are small, fluid-filled bumps that are totally s...

Hi Michelle. A derm did a skin scraping of several of the bumps and found there was no fungus or bacteria when looking under the microscope. Do you recommend a biopsy in addition to this? Thanks for y...

Hi guys, back with an (unfortunate) update. It's been another month with no change. Allergy test came back and I'm allergic to nickle, but that's it. I'm beginning to do some desperate things... like ...

hi waytoooldforthis. no, it does not itch or burn. it's just red bumps and small whiteheads concentrated around my mouth, and they dont even hurt -- they are totally superficial. after trying tons o...

Thank you both for your thoughts. Paigems, I'm inclined to agree with you on the diagnosis, but I'm just so frustrated that after using a soap for PD (osmia black soap) and Jayson's toothpaste (no SLS...

Hi guys. I’ve posted before and am still having a heck of a time getting results. If anyone can help, I’d really, really appreciate it. My problem: constant, small whiteheads, usually concentrated aro...

Hey Jack. Not sure if it will work on older scars since mine were recent red marks from picking @ a breakout, but I definitely think it's worth a shot since biafine helps the skin heal.

I only had some newer marks from a recent bad breakout, and I usually applied it twice a day (am and pm) by putting a little blob and letting it soak in. i don't think it would hurt to apply it more o...

I'm so sorry -- I thought I would get a notification if someone replied to my topic! I used the regular (not ACT). I think ACT is slightly weaker. And I did not use it on older marks, just newer ones....

Hi Frustrated247! I take the same approach -- put a big blob on the spot and let it soak in. And I don't think anything bad can happen by using this more than twice a day. It's not like cortisone in t...

Thanks so much for the reply, Calumma. I'm sorry to hear you are struggling with the same thing. So no treatment, huh? Is that what you've been doing? I'd hate to use nothing, since a dollop of sulfur...

Anyone? This is the rosacea forum -- do any of you guys get small whitehead-like bumps? I'm just not convinced it's rosacea... but I'm also not sure what the heck it is (or how to best treat it).

Edit: Attached a zoomed-in pic to better illustrate the constant whiteheads. Hi all, it's been five months of derm visits and rxs, and I still am not sure exactly what I have. I was initially diagnos...

Hi all, I've been scouring these boards for several weeks now, looking for that "miracle cure" for red marks. Then I remembered a product I've used in the past and haven't seen mentioned much on these...

thanks Mrs Robinson, I hope you are right! Since I'm also dealing with perioral dermatitis, I've been using 100% natural face products from Osmia. In the past, when I took antibiotics just for acne, I...

anyone? I'd love to hear if anyone has experienced a more rapid than normal weaning process... and if they did anything additional to help ease the likely breakout. I'm already taking a strong probiot...

thanks a lot, circumambient. have you ever weaned so quickly? I'm terrified this is going to be ugly....

Hi all! After being on antibiotics for about three months, I’m down to four 500 mg azithromycin pills. I want to wean off them and realize it would be best to do it more gradually, but getting another...
