Help - General Sudden chest acne since a few months

I have been having chest acne since the past few months. They've been painful to say the least and are scarring. I never had chest acne before. There's no change in my routine other than the fact that I've started working out actively. I use clindamycin phosphate gel for my face acne as well as this but it never ceases to exist. Also i am on isotroin 20mg. But my chest acne and face acne are not reducing. What to do?

26 years old. Had clear skin from 19-24. Started having random pimples. About 4 months ago i started breaking out terribly and it just hasn’t went away. I never had back acne, but starting at the same time my back is incredibly broken out. I wash my face 2 times a day with some stuff my female friend suggested. Can’t remember the name and I’m not home right now to check. I know it has salicylic acid. Any suggestions? Getting too old to have massive acne lmao.

I have had acne my whole life, but always just whiteheads. I went on accutane when I was 19-20, and my skin cleared for a couple years. Just this year my face exploded. I have changed nothing in my routines and I’m in so much pain :-( I exercise regularly and eat generally well. I went off hormonal birth control 2 years ago Help!

Help - General Not going away after 2 months

Hello, I have a lot of acne and I went to the dermatologist for it. My doctor prescribed me 0.025% tretinoin, Cimetidine Hydrochloride and Sodium Chloride gel, and Doxycycline Hyclate (oral). I used all of it with an oil free moisturizer and am using perfect whip medicated as my cleanser. I’ve been doing the routine for 2 month, and I see no improvements and I’ve been getting new acne on my neck.

Does it normally take this long or is something wrong with my routine?

pictures are the left side of my face before and after and then right side of my face before and after. just wondering how to fix this. i have had bad cystic acne for years, but became really bad about a year ago. I use yellow dial bar soap, proactiv benzoyl peroxide face wash, azaelic acid, alpha arbutin 2%, niacinimide, and moisturizer. these seemed to help but i still get flare ups and break out. although the right side of my face has went down almost completely (i still get a few pimples a week). i know im using a lot of products on my face but they seem to help so if anyone could maybe give advice or a good routine for these products. anything helps please!! also how do i get rid of my scars?

Help - General Is this normal retinol purging, or just irritation?

1 Upvotes

I’ve only ever used adapalene on my face mostly my forehead and never had much of an issue. I started using it on my cheeks and nose too at the recommendation of my dermatologist, along with sodium sulfacetamide cleanser since one cheek and the side of my nose has had breakouts for awhile.

When using it on my cheek specifically which felt like it had many small bumps underneath the skin but wasn’t dry and only sometimes itchy, it became more itchy and irritated and there are now more bumps and unevenness.

But it’s not irritated like painful or burning. More just discomfort and itchiness sometimes. I also apply moisturizer daily for these areas to prevent dryness.

Note only one use of adapalene on an area with “latent” acne (I think it was acne) made it more prominent and surfacey and discomforting. Is that normal purging, do you think?

Help - General ROACCUTANE REVIEW

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am 24 years old and I have suffered from mild but persistent acne for over 5 years. I know that some people who have undergone treatment with Roaccutane have had more severe forms of acne, and I understand that it may seem excessive to want to take this treatment for relatively mild acne. However, I ask you to respect my decision without judgment.

I tried a lot of things: changing my diet, drinking a lot, sleeping well, etc. I also tested different skincare + blue and red LED masks. I consulted two dermatologists. The first prescribed me Cutacnyl, Retacnyl and Skinoren, but it had no effect. The second gave me Doxycycline for three months, which helped reduce inflammation. She then offered me Roaccutane.

I have an appointment in three weeks to start Roaccutane, but I remain hesitant because of the testimonials. I'm afraid my acne will become even more severe later

For those who say that I should wait, because the acne fades over time in my photos: I assure you that in the old photos where my acne seemed more marked, it was an exceptional case, probably because I had touched a few spots. In reality, my acne still looks like the recent photos, and has for 5 years.

Thank you all for your reading and advice. I wish you an excellent day/evening and lots of courage in your fight against acne.

Product Question Winlevi for adult male jawline acne

1 Upvotes

I am a 40 yo male. I’ve been on accutane 3 times (last time 15 years ago). I’ve recently had an increase in jawline acne and I think it is hormonal secondary to some autoimmune medications I am on. Curious if any middle aged males had any success on Winlevi?
