ACNE...

omg. i love milk.Originally posted by Aveme:k,maybe you can try this.Stop taking in dairy product like milk,cheese,chocolate
I have read about this years ago on some health magazine,tried it out and it really stopped all the heavy acne i still had until my mid 20+.I used to have lot of acne the size of 5-10 cents coin large popping up all over my face since puberty and once i cut off almost every food item that contain a substantial amount of dairy product,they disappeared as well.Doing a simple test,i start taking in milk and such as per normal and they are back even till now when i am around 30
And i remember back in my early secondary school days,i used to love chocolate milk so much and drank quite a bit everyday,so zzzz they were the cause of much of my suffering and i was still happily drinking my daily poison.So well you can try this,but it is actually not that easy as it means giving up lots of stuff,no more stuff like milo(yes a major component of milo is from a dairy source),chocolate,pizza even cakes as tons of such food item uses milk or cheese.
Here are some articles link from the internet on this,or you can also just go google for dairy product/milk acne and you can get a pretty amount of links for info on it.

I suggest u go to a specialist clinic or a dermatologist
NSC wuld be ur trusted source
-try not to have late nights
-if u find a particular cleanser works for u,dun keep switching
as the diff levels of chemical in each cleanser tends to make ur skin sensitive
-depending on ur skin,wash between 3 times a day
shld u over wash it,it gets dry and the lack of serbum will nt give ur face enuff protection
-drink lotsa water and i mean it
-skip the oily food
i stopped excess oily food for over 2 mnths to reduce the pimples
i believe u can too!
lastly,when drying ur face,dun rub the towel over the face but dap softly
rmb to use a seperate towel for body and face use!
o yes,dun leave out the fruits
pears and drinking lotsa tomato juices will help -

A trip to NSC under subsidy costs around $40 back in year 2001...
You must determine what causes your acne - whether is it your hormones or is it plainly a skin condition, or is it the environment that causes it - before choosing a method to follow out of so many suggestions.
Find a facial cleanser that suits your acneic skin, and STICK TO IT.
If your skin is oily, blot it once a day. Do not over-blot as it will cause your skin to produce even more oil.
Change your pillowcase regularly (or put a towel over it and change the towel).
Ensure your living environment is clean e.g. free from excessive dust.
To try to salvage the harm that has already been done, remember to take Vitamin C as they will help in your skin renewal and scar healing. Some flowerpodders recommend eating a kiwi a day, as kiwis contain a high amount of Vitamin C.
DOXYCYCLINE : side effect is nausea, so always take it after food, and not just a bit of food. Better to be a meal. If you still experience nausea, umm, I used to take anti-nausea tablets like metolon or that small yellow tablet. -
eh NSC not so good leh. I've been there personally and I've heard from people who've been there too.
Have you been there, tho?
All they did was to keep giving me medication, and even though the medication worked, the problem came back again after I stopped. First they gave me doxycycline. Then something else, then erythromycin, then Bacterin (or Bacterim forgot). They wanted to give me Roaccutane but I was a minor back then and since it causes possible severe side effects, I required my parents' consent and they weren't around then.Originally posted by olala:I suggest u go to a specialist clinic or a dermatologist

but a specialist in raffles hospital
but economically,NSC is afforadable and 'ok' -
u might want to try using Retin-A Gel...it removes the pimples quite effectivly but have a minor side effect if excessive usage,and also no sun on the applied area.
Need to get across the Causeway as it comes with a prescription here.Ard 30 ringgits -
really thanks for all the replies.
what i think i will do now is to go NSC and get advice from a trusted dermatologist there.
i believe my problem is more due to hormones and stuffs happening inside my body. my mum had acne problem when she was young i guess, so it could be due to genes. so i presume it will still be better to tackle the problem by taking oral medication to kill the root
i have reduced on taking oily food and conscientiously cleaning my face without scrubbing or rubbing it dry. i oso take vitamins C and E which helps in skin renewal and repair... but the acne remained and is always reddish and imflammed.
the consultation fee for NSC is $21 from what i see, but the medication is charged separately.. anyone know how much it will cost thru the whole course?.. i think i will follow the doctor's advice there and do what he ask me to.. advices from people around me have been making me change skin care techniques too often..
thanks for all the replies agn -

if it's really hormonal and trips to the NSC don't help, you can try Evening Primrose Oil. I've heard that it helps, and recently I bought a bottle to try......... but cannot try yet cos for some reason I can't swallow things like that at the moment.

after recovering from e pimple, it is normal to have these red marks called erythematous macule. which will fade in 4-6mths after acne breakout. (ranges from person to person though...)Originally posted by *Lord Kang*:i also got this problem..But mine mostly is the scar and the redness..Got any solution??Every time see my face like seeing so many red hotspot like that..Very ugly.....
it may get temp redder under sun or when u exercise. some pple have darker red marks, some pple have bright red ones, also depend on skin colour.
there is nothing much u can do but to rest ur skin as much as possible, as its part and parcel of e road to recovery. -
how about applying vitamin E or vitamin A cream? i've not tried and i'm wondering if it will work, at least a little.Originally posted by alfagal:after recovering from e pimple, it is normal to have these red marks called erythematous macule. which will fade in 4-6mths after acne breakout.

How to remover pimple scars? Scars that have been there for years? Dark Blemishes on the face? Also the pores on my face are quite visible. Quite big. My face also oily always. As for Acne/pimple, its like occasional one or two in random spots on my face. I learnt not to squeeze them already so they would go away after sometime. But the really huge pimple would become dark and become like a dark spot on my face. How to get rid of the scars and dark spots? So many years already. I wash my face with facial wash morning and evening. During day, occasional wash with water. How leh? Any good skin care product out there which can regenerate the skin?
