Hello flazam10: Here is one citation on acne diet for you:   Eat foods that are closest to their natural state (e.g. eat whole apples, not apple sauce; eat strawberries, not strawberry jam e...

Dear Em826:   I hope you did not get some infection, and from you story you will probably end up with some scarring which may or may not resolve on its own. At this point it would be the best ...

Dear Danny and all others in similar situation: Acne is famous for making people very miserable, but we should not let it control our life, especially given that there is a cure (isotretinoin) and g...

FYI: Comedogenicity and irritancy of commonly used ingredients in skin care products. J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. 40, 321-333 (Nov/Dec 1989): Mineral oil comedogenicity 0-2 (Grading is from 0 to 5) ...

Your experience is just the opposite from the majority of people, but it is what it is. So the only logical step would be to stop probiotics. In general I would not use any pills, and would eat just ...

Stop Accutane and call your doctor right away! Best! VTC

I personally know Dr. Eric Schweiger in NYC. He is really smart and more importantly good person and a great dermatologist. So check him out. Best! VTC

Look for products with max benzoyl peroxide concentrations of 2.5%, since more concentrated product do not work better and can cause more irritation. You are right, technically all products should be ...

Your scars look really mild, but I know, they are very bothersome to you. The most important question is what are those white inflamed bumps you've described (quote):"... they are usually 2 little bum...

Dear jennymai: Almost all acne regimens are designed to reduce skin oil production, and therefore, unfortunately, cause some irritation, dryness and flakiness in the vast majority of users which subs...

You are not alone at all! Here is a citation from a website: "Acne may cause poor self-esteem, depression, anger, and other social issues. This is summarized by Sulzberger and Zaidems in ...

Many marks will disappear on their own, but tretinoin should help, so give it some more time (4-6 wks). Also take photos now and compare in 4-6 weeks since we all forget how we looked just a few weeks...

If you are not improving then you should contact your dermatologist for possible prescription for some topical steroid for a few days. Keep fighting acne! I wish you all the best!

Acne is so much more than just skin deep. So skin regimen is only 1/3 of the treatment, the other 1/3 is good nutrition (low sugar foods, no skim milk, lots of green leafy vegetables, some fish oil, f...

If you were my daughter you would be on isotretinoin (aka Accutane- brand discontinued in the US), but everyone is different, so you should have a serious talk with your dermatologist. OTCs and homeop...

Sorry, but you should see a dermatologist for possible incision or corticosteroid injection (Kenalog). Best!

It will go away in a few days. For dryness I ask people to wet their skin with cool water then apply plain Vaseline (which contrary to a popular belief does not plug pores) from tube (not jar!) or C...

The best makeup is no makeup, but that is hardly possible for many of my female acne patients. Therefore, in general, avoid any pressed or pasty makeups, since they can plug your pores and cause or wo...
