acne bluess..

hey everyone..
i have been reading gupshup forums for quite sometime now…n its my first post here…
im so messed up rite now…infact its been a year now…
my acne is not gettiing any better…i have treated the cause of it…but in a desperate attempt to make it all go away in one night..i keep on trying new things on my face which is now the reason for breakouts…i find it sooo hard to stick to one thing…its been three days now im sticking to my acne medication n it has gotten better…but now im alllll so worried abt the scars i have got…i cnt have them there…it makes me cry everytime i look at myself…im loosing confidence..pls suggest a good skin care regimen to fight acne,scars black heads,white heads n facial hair…gosh im soooo messed up :(:(:frowning:

What treatments have u tried so far? (oral and topical)

What's u're skincare regime like now?

im using isotrex gel and eryderm lotion...
for now i put isotrex gel for half an hour in the evening and use apply eryderm lotion for over night...but my skin is miserable rite now n i cant wait for it to get better..i feel like crying..:(

Stress won't make it any better :)

Have u been to a derm or gotten any antibiotics? Often topical creams and gels aren't enough to combat acne and needs a course of antibiotics. It's best that u go see one.

Don't use every product under-the-sun or remedy. It's important to stick to one thing and not fluctuate or use too many products.

Use a gel (neem, tea-tree, cleanser) a similar toner and an oil-free moisturiser. Don't use any products with alcohol in it..

Re: acne bluess..

hiya,

i have kept a food diary and i realised i got alot more acne when i was on a junk eating diet...my acne is food related...if ieat bad food for more than a few days, i get acne..and the red type....if i eat healthily my skin looks better.

im using a neem soap, then baby lotion moisturiser and fade out cream for the marks......

also diet works..trust me..before my wedding i went on a healthy diet for 3 months, lost lots of weight and skin glowed.....now post wedding, not so healthy...so skin looking cranky again...
