Re: acne problem

It is normal so need for worry.
Cosmetic make it worse i have heard.
Go to a skin doctor.

Acne problem is not so uncommon. There are many reasons for it also.

Oily skin is one big reason.

Then stress, heat, sun exposure and at times hormonal imbalance plays important role in it. Younger age with sexual emotions also bring acne on skin.

Somehow one need to find the way to

1- Keep the skin dry.Use soap regularly to kill oil on the face. No powder necessary.

2- Sleep well and be on routine to go to bed.

3- Avoid sun exposure (use sun shade or a big hat) or.... heat so skin can be less sweaty. ISlamabad could be very hot these days.

4- Keep face cool by washing it with cold water.

5- Use antibacterial creams or take antibiotics like erythromycin or tetracycline/minocycline if not allergic to these products by mouth.

Take extra care to avoid sun if taking tetracycline/minocycline since it may affect your skin color. So you should use their cream form at night only.

6- Avoid sexual thoughts which can be difficult at adolecent age.

7- Do not use oily products or products which could close the skin pores (very small holes in the skin to let sweat come out)

Overall, just keep the skin dry and clean.

See a dermatologist (skin specialist) for more information.

Congratulations for getting married. :)

Thanks to all....

Re: acne problem

number 6-avoid sexual thoughts. nice.

standard procedure in the west: they put you on oral antibiotics for a couple of weeks to get rid of your acne. It works, though it might make your skin more photosensitive. The herbal/over the counter treatments (clearasil, neurogena etc. ) are all crap -- trust me i've been there tried everything. antibiotics really work.
