I need help with ACNE..?
Okay, so I have tried EVERYTHING.
i’ve had proactive, and the neutragena acne skin care products..
none of those had worked.
i went to the doctors and he prescribed Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
Well.. it’s been about three weeks since i’ve been using it, and it hasnt been the best.
I wash my face with White Tea soap, and Clean & Clear Cleanser
Then I apply the BP, and wait until it dries and use Aloe Vera Gel.
Every other day I use Lemon juice to help the redness, and an ice pack.
I’ve been drinking 8 cups of water a day, and also been having 5 servings of vegatbles a day, as well as once a day fruit.
Do you know anyway that will help clear it that i havent tried?
and fast, maybe? Please & thank you.
I have had really bad acne off and on for 11 years. I have cystic acne (the kind that is like painful hard lumps under the skin). I have used proactive (works kind of o.k. if you use in continuously), and various other cleansers. Prescription wise I have used : tetracycline, doxocycline and retin – a cream. These have all worked rather well for me but you have to be careful using them. Retin-a cream is very drying to the skin. Tetracycline should not be used if expired can cause various organ problems if it is expired (not sure if they have changed the formula of it to prevent this or not). Both tetracyline and doxocylcline is pretty cheap for prescription medicine since they have been around forever (more than likely get it for about $10 to $15 at walmart or walgreens even with out insurance but will need a prescription for it).
Accutane is supposed to work wonders but can be potentially vary dangerous to use. You have to sign waivers to use it and if female and are at the age of menstruation you will be required to go on the birth control pill first (for about 3 months prior to even getting your 1st prescription for Accutane). I know because I came really close to agreeing to use it then chickened out after reading the huge amount of papers I had to read and sign to use it.
It sounds like you are eating well and drinking lots of water which is good. But you might want to lay off using so many products on your face because you could be aggravating your condition further by using all of them,
