I hope the acne bacteria doesn't become resistant to the tea tree oil. I haven't been consistent with my acne creams, but have been with the tea tree oil. Does anyone know if that's possible for the b...

Hi Timehealsall, Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried benzoyl perixide plenty of times. I'm also using Acanya as well, which has BP in it. It doesn't seem to burn my skin like BP alone. And yes,...

I had to wash my hair today. I used Aubrey Organics clarifying shampoo -- 100% natural ingredients. The essential tea tree oil from Whole Foods is working wonders! Definitely worth a try.

I swung by Whole Foods and bought tea tree oil (pure, essential oil) and it has been helping my skin a lot. I can't believe it. I recommend it!

Day five of no shampoo and the acne on the right side of my face is gone (just scars now). Still have big ones that have been on the left side of my face for over about two weeks. One big one and a fe...

Thanks for the information. I prefer the natural route as well. I'm going to take the plunge and go completely natural with my hair products. I've been doing a lot of research on this topic. I started...

Also, does anyone know why Kairos shampoo and other products went off the market? I can't find much information on why that happened, but have read some good things about it.

Alright, so, my new dermatologist seems helpful. She actually talked with me about my history and examined my face, hair, and back, instead of standing 10 feet away from me telling me that my acne is ...

Hi MintyDude, It's so frustrating. I can't get rid of it for anything! And over time it just keeps appearing in other places and staying there. The acne on the sides of my face started in the summer...

Since early October.

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm getting so frustrated. I did go back to the Retin A the other night. It hasn't done a thing. Nothing really has...yet. I'm going back to my dermatologist in a few days.

Random major breakout on my forehead and the sides of my face. I'm not sure what's going on... Nothing helps for long and I feel so helpless and ugly. I'm washing my pillow cases and sheets.

Everybody out there, seriously, try a shampoo with no sulfates. I'm now using Desert Essence Green Apple and Ginger shampoo and conditioner. I used it once two years ago and I remember my skin being s...

Good results so far. No new breakouts since using my sulfate-free shampoo.

Thanks, Pulz. That is my plan. It's just frustrating! As others have suggested, I started shampooing my hair with non-sulfate shampoo today (with Organix Teatree Mint). I'm going to stick to this for...

Has anyone seen an endocrinologist for their acne? If so, did they help? I've been to so many different kinds of doctors and have stuck with each one for a good amount of time, but no one has helped. ...

Hi Pulz, No, it does not.

Thanks for the response. I'm glad you saw results. I'm still sticking with the Retin-A. My dermatologist said I should be seeing results after twelve weeks. I'm almost at that point - haven't seen a ...

Applying the evening primrose oil to my face is also helping. I do it at night before bed because it makes my skin appear very oily! I am still taking the capsules by mouth, along with the Candibactin...

Hey everyone. Maybe this information will help others. My skin has been clearing up on the sides of my face. A nutritionist I was seeing for about a year (I stopped going to her not long ago because I...

Thank you for the recommendation. So, I just got back from my appointment with the dermatologist. It didn't go a well as I hoped. He did not do a skin biopsy or culture. He is still stuck on believi...

Thanks again! Good luck to you as well - I really mean it. I hope both our problems go away very, very soon. My skin has been getting worse these past few days. It just won't stop. I'm getting so frus...

Thanks luckycat. I plan on demanding a biopsy - this is driving me crazy! I don't understand how my dermatologist could just look at me from across the room and be sure of what is causing my acne. It ...

Thank you everyone for your responses. Each of you is a big help. I know for a fact my acne has something to do with my hair. A friend of mine had a similar issue a few years back and she was diagnose...

Thanks for the responses. I've seen little improvement on my shoulders and forehead after letting the Nizoral settle for a few minutes twice a day before washing off. The sides of my face are still br...
