I am currently seeing a dermatologist. he has me doing the following... 1) in the morning... a) wash my face with cetaphil (the gentle scrub) b) spread benzaclin on the areas where i have acne. a LIGHT coating. 2) at night before i go to bed... a) again...wash my face with cetaphil (the gentle scrub) b) spread retinA on the areas where i have acne. a LIGHT coating. I have acne between my eyebrows, above that, on my nose (not really bad there) , on either side of my nose under my eyes (both sides (this is the worst part), and my chin (this is the second worst part). in the bad areas i have many condensed red inflamed whiteheads, ones that don't come to a head, and black heads. This troubles me ALOT. i am in 7th grade and am 13. i am in puberty (NO SHIT!!! XP ) i have been researching causes and such of acne. I am modifying my diet so there are less sweets and more apples and such. i get alot of exercise. most of the time when i get home from the park or wherever i was; i take a shower and wash my face. i have another appointment with the dermatologist NEXT WEEK. i have been doing the routine listed above for about a month. My acne troubles me with socializing MAJORLY!!!!. i want to know if there are any home remedies or face washed that are strong and affordable. btw i am a guy =P i appreciate all answers. this really troubles me with girls too. like ALOT!. HELP!!! thanks, Paul Kennedy. |
