Dry Skin and deep Acne?

When i was a teenager i had the random actual pimple, probably around my period the most i'm sure, and they were small and managable. Now i am 24 and have bad acne, not like a million zits everywhere, like 5 really big ones and 15 small ones, mostly in clusters. I've tried every brand of everything, three step products including: Proctive, Clinique and Acne sets ups from the stores such as Dove, Neutrogena... etc. I've tried spot treatments, cleansing pads, homemade remedies such as Rose witch hazel .. this list goes on.





Nothing. Instead they may work for a little while, but then my skin grows an immunity like to it and i'm back to big nasty zits.





I hear its from stress, because i'll leave on vacation from work and come back glowing, and within a week i'm back to 'normal'





it has been like this since i started working a stressful 8-5'er.





Now i have dark spots and it makes it look worse.





I need a miracle!





Any suggestions?

You don't need a miracle. YOu need a good Dermatoligist.
Reply:i used to have really bad acne like yours so i went to my doc and i got on the pill. it worked miracles for me and i didn't have to worry about my period anymore. Getting rid of two hassles at once. i still wash my face but i usually only get like 2 pimples at the most
Reply:I'm on the pill, oral antibiotics, and a face cream all perscribed by a doctor. (If you're on the pill for pregnancy reasons then the antibiotics can react with the pill and cause it not to work as well against pregnancy.)





I used to have very bad acne but I just had to figure out something that worked for me. I've tried many things, just like you. The antibiotics helped a little, then I was put on the face cream called Differin but that didn't work so I was put on Azelex which only prevents acne and doesn't treat it. Azelex worked VERY well, especially for my back (where my acne was the worst). I just recently started the pill and I've been on it for 1 and a half months. I haven't noticed it helping with any acne yet...and it seems to make it worse at the moment but I can't tell. I'm trying it for a full three months to see if it does anything for my acne.





Since I was put on Azelex, the most amount of pimples I get at a time are 3 (very rarely) and they are very big, deep in the skin, and red. I do go weeks at a time with completely clear skin when I don't break out, which is better than nothing. I'm still searching for spot treatments that work since my face cream doesn't heal acne when I do get it. If I find anything for spot treatments, I'll try and repost it if this question is still up.





Daily Routine:


I use Apricot Scrub for blemishes and blackheads and I wash my face every morning and every night. After washing I take a CLEAN washcloth (a brand new one everytime you wash) and PAT DRY! Then I apply Azelex face cream. About an hour later after I feel like the cream has absorbed, I apply Olay Complete all day moisture lotion SPF 15 for Sensitive Skin. I also change my pillow case every night so the oils from the night before don't clog my pores. (yes it's a lot of laundry but it really seems to help me)





I just recommend seeing your doctor or a dermatologist. Good luck.
