Re: Acne Not Herpes
Toothpaste really dries them out fast and reduces redness. I've tried it - and it works great! Also, I heard that Prep-H works for redness. |

Re: Acne Not Herpes
Ahh, I see. Plus they make you sign some weird pledge that you promise to use two forms of birth control while on it....

Re: Acne Not Herpes
Oh no, you were doing fabulous. Any new medication or something new in your diet? Maybe a change of antibiotic. I wonder if there's a mineral you are deficient in. I always take a qtip dipped in a little alcohol and hold it on the zip itself so as not to dry out the surrounding skin. Maybe you should see again if you can get ahold of Glytone. It's tinted with 8% sulfer and 2% of something called resorcinol. I put a hint on in the day time and a heavy blob at night right on top the pimple. Really dries and draws it out.

Re: Acne Not Herpes
Acne is usually hormonal with me, and when I was younger tetracycline worked for me. Also, when I was on the pill, I virtually had no acne.  |

Re: Acne Not Herpes
In my business I offer light therapy treatments for acne by a device called Omnilux Blue. It works by exposing the affected areas to the Omnilux Blue light (405nm) for 20 minutes, which -- simply stated -- shrinks the cell responsible for the production of excess sebum (skin oil). We see an average 82% clearance rate in moderate acne cases quite often. It's painless and is the best treatment for acne I've ever seen. Maybe someobne in your area offers this treatment? linky: http://www.photomedex.com/omnilux/clin_reference.htm |

Re: Acne Not Herpes
Thank you. I mean where else can I post gross pictures of my face and get sympathy, advice and abuse all in one place? But seriously, thanks for saying that. |

Re: Acne Not Herpes
The only thing that ever worked for me was accutane. Took care of that crap forever!
