Acne :: Lot Of Scars - Need A Solution
Nov 22, 2014
I have always had mild acne since I was about 14, I am now 23 and it is worse than ever before. Currently I have a lot of scars (not terrible ones or deep ones though) a few new spots and ones that always reappear and since 2 days ago one boil/nodule like spot on my cheek which is actually physically painful. What is happening now!?
I already do all of these things...
I eat well
I drink lots of water
I sleep fairly well
I exercise very regularly
I wear make-up as minimal as possible, when I work I cannot not wear foundation so I use Clinique upon store assistant advice to cover my scars but be light enough for my skin to breathe.
I have used a variety of skin products: my best method seems to be Clinique soap with lukewarm water, a light cucumber moisturiser and the occasional massage of bio oil.
I have taken prescribed things such as oxytetrin, which didn't work well and slightly greyed my teeth so I stopped. Also I have tried almost all of the liquid/gel/facial products.
I feel like I've tried EVERYTHING.
I am currently waiting for a consultation with the NHS, that wont be until next year most likely now!!
I also don't want to wait THAT long to be told, yet again, "yes you have acne" by anybody I want somebody to say "you've tried a lot of stuff, so lets try this one as statistically I think it will work best.'...... Is this possible?
Can anybody offer me some good advice?!

I was wondering about how I could heal acne scars. I have been having ongoing acne for at least 4 years now. The acne only really appears on my nose and around my mouth area (below nose and below lower lip). Unfortunately, I have multiple acne scars now. Also, I have large pores that won't close: is there a way to make them disappear?

I have never used an inhaler before and I don't have Asthma, but I think it's allergies, nonetheless, inhalers scare me I had seizures when. I was younger in fact last one was 20 some yrs ago.
Don't like what is on directions (precautions)...my main concern is the mucus in chest, I cough and a lot of time bring up phlegm, my Dr said the inhaler would stop the rattling.........she is good, but not an allergist.
Now question........what is good (besides inhaler) to loosen mucus. Right now drinking tea and honey.

Has anyone found a better solution to migraine than amitriptyline? 2 months on 40mg increasing to 70 mg. Already overweight! I have read about a lot of people being unable to control their weight on these, am worried about continuing. Had propranolol in the past but didn't help the migraine. Also have Tinnitus, which I think is worse on amitriptyline...

Is it possible to tell what caused scars on your lungs just from a CT scan? Do different causes look different?

My son who is 12 years old and has had chickenpox for a week now and is still very itchy. Should I take him to see a doctor? I worry that he will have lots of scars from scratching.

I had chicken pox about a month ago and now have "battle scars" on my face. I have several spots of skin discolouration on my face, some with an accompanying slight "cratering"..
I think I can live with the "cratering" but the discoloured skin spots are visible from far and I have no idea of how to remove these discoloured spots. Some have suggested using lemon juice on a regular basis on those spotted areas but I am not sure if it will cause or trigger more discolouration.
Anyone got any good experiences to share on how to deal with the discoloured spots from chicken pox? To date, I have only tried to use make-up concealers but the routine is driving me crazy as I have been very active and I am not used to applying make-up previously.

I'm starting to get a little worried because my vagina has been itching unbearably. It's not really the inside just near the clit and the outside.. I do shave and I started using a bar soap. There are no bumps present or any weird discharge.. But I am leaving scabs and scars because it itches.

I am 16. Female. Never done anything sexual so i am 100% sure this is not a std or anything of the sorts. SO, i started to shave young (pubic hairs..bikini line, vaginal area) at 12 or 13. And ever nice i started i would get these in grown hairs. I am half black - so i guess i am prone to that (curly hair growing inwards). But now almost my entirety of my inner thighs are covered with these dark marks and scars. And too many ingrown hairs. I am too embarrassed to go swimming, I never wear shorts because you can see them. Also I have these sick pimples down there... Waxing - - the scars are still there! When i was younger - i was dumb enough to pick at them and.. well it is just getting worse over the years. !

I have had a numb left leg for about 5 months now from my thigh down to my knee and it seems to be getting worse and going down to the rest of my left leg. I also have these weird scars that look red or bloody from the inside and there is 3 of them and they showed up out of nowhere overnight. My doctor has given me blood tests and MRI's and nothing has shown up abnormal.

When I was a baby I suffered with very bad eczema, then when I was approximately 12/13 my eczema came back on my face along with bad acne, to clear up my eczema I used Aqueous Cream as well as Hydrocortisone Cream which worked and I also used Zineryt on my acne which eventually worked and my skin was back clear apart from the occasional hormonal spot every now and then which didn't bother me.
I am now 17 and towards the end of January this year I noticed my eczema was coming back as well as comedones so I visited the doctor about my eczema and was given Diprobase which I applied to my body and face 1/2 times day. I thought if I continued to use my Zineryt it would eventually clear up the comedones, which it didn't. Eventually the comedones also spread to my cheeks and my chin and now they flare up into painful spots and my face is now covered making me very insecure about my skin!
I re-visited a different doctor around 5 weeks ago and have been put on 1 a day Tetralysal antibiotics which haven't made the slightest improvement and my spots are still continuing to worsen and increase.
I have also been on the Cerazette birth control pill for around a year now I was wondering if this could be causing hormonal changes that have triggered my acne despite being on it so long?
If not I was wondering if the Diprobase/Aqueous cream could be causing my acne? (I stopped using this on my face 2 days ago incase but have still gained more painful spots and my skin is also becoming dry again)
I would like to know your opinion on what is causing my acne? What I can do to treat it? And how long it will it take to get back to a bearable state?

I have a lot of problems with acne. They seem to be impossible to get rid of, no matter what I do. I eat a lot of stuff with sugar, like candy bars , chocolate cakes and a lot of soda. Could this be the reason for my acne problem or would my acne go away if I stop eating this c**p. What do you think? Im really tired of this acne problem, its really affecting me.
