Acne…

I have had acne since FOREVER! I used to go to the dermatologist, but nothing ever made my acne go away COMPLETELY! I still get REALLY BAD ACNE around my chin and mouth. HOW can I get rid of this? The pores on my cheeks are slowly but surely shrinking. I do sleep with a pillow on top of me and I hold onto it. My face usually touches in the same spot on the pillow that I hold on to. So, am I just “re-infecting” my chin and mouth area with the pillow that I hold onto? What products should I use to help these HUGE zits go away and give me CLEAR SKIN!?

*Zyporex* is to be very effective in treating this condition. Comes with a money back guarantee.

I forgot to add that tid bit…When I used proactive…my face BLEW UP like a puffer fish and Proactiv REFUSED to reimburse me for it! So, Proactiv is out and sucks! But thanks for the suggestion! I know you are just trying to help me and I am glad! Do you know of anything other than Proactiv? I ahve really sensitive skin obviously. Would Proactive work if maybe I just kept using it until i was no longer puffy from the medicine?

This is to be highly effective. You may only need a few treatments. Less then $1.00 a day is worth a try :)

My doctor is getting old and does not seem as interested in helping like he used to be. Its like he just picks a new medicine off the list, after a onth or so, if it does not work, he just tries something new.

Change your pillowcase every night before you go to sleep. And I DON’T recommend Oxyclean, because I broke out like crazy and puffed up when I used that. I use Biore pore perfect cleanser everyday and S t. (remove the space, they don’t let you type ****.) Ives apricot scrub, the kind that says for breakouts and blackheads every other day and that works well for me. And I have sensitive skin too.

I don’t recommend those in the market really without doc’s prescription. What works for others may not work for you. We all have unique skin glands thingy. So i still encourage going to the derma.

Dermatologists have their products…unscented and gentle. Avoid those with high alcohol ingredients and too much scent.

Avoid food rich in sodium, oil. Have more exercise. It would help the glands behave. Eat more fruits and green leafy vegetables. Say good bye to soda. Change towels and pillow cases regularly. Avoid touching your face.

Yeah, well my doctor basically told me my skin was fine and to stop whining. And where I live, I don’t have acess to a dermatologist. For some people, it takes experimentation to find what works for them.

I just came from a skin clinic where i visit every two weeks or so. I have very sensitive skin so i need to take care of it. But then of course, i need to give up more of the sweets and the junk.

Besides, the poster said she (I’m guessing at she, I’m not entirely sure, but I think) had already been to a dermotologist many times and it wasn’t working for them, so they asked for products that other people used.

OK. I have another worry. I have these hard, numb like bumps under the skin, around my mouth. They hurt sooo bad! I do not even have to touch them for them to hurt! I do not know if they are cysts, cancer sores, etc. I am a little stressed because of school starting tomorrow and i am supposed to be getting my period in the next day or so. I do not know what to do with them. I cannot go to the doctor right now because of my insurance. I am also going out with this guy I REALLY LIKE on thursday and i am worried about kissing him because I do not want him to feel the bumps. What should I do?

Those are probably just another form of acne. Are they really small?
