I just read about the dangers of salicylic acid when pregnant and so far I have used this topical acne treatment only 3 times during my pregnancy and am hoping I didn’t do anything to hurt the baby? Is this ok?
I am definitely not using it anymore but am wondering if I could have already caused some damage to my baby?

I have Moderate, sometimes severe acne, Not so much on my face but on my shoulders and upper back I get Cystic acne really bad. It rarely form white heads, and they hurt alot, typical diet and washing twice a day just isnt cutting it, I need a pill or something i could take, that would not cost alot to get because i dont have Health Insurence. What are some medications I could specifically ask for that dont cost a whole lot?

Thank you

Like, If the guy is sweet and nice, funny, calm…just that general great personality, but has a little mild-moderate acne…is that a total turn off to girls/women? Does the acne cancel out everything else?

Ok so i have had this new kind of acne on my face for the last 5 months and it is really starting to bother me. I used to have acne on the forehead mainly but that has cleared up and now once that area cleared i have had a ton of acne on my jawline. I am 19 and i am a guy. I have heard that this kind of acne is hormonal but I am not sure how true that is and does that affect men and women or just women? The acne is terrible and it is starting to wreck my self confidence. It is so annoying because it is symmetrical. It is bad on both sides of my face which is really annoying! Right now I am using a sulfur mask 3 days a week and then i am using a neutrogena product with salycylic acid 2 times a day. I have tried basically every product you can except proactiv. Also I drink lots of water and am very active. I clean my sheets and pillow cases once a week. I am very meticulous with my face and my acne and I rarely touch it. I am at a loss because all other acne usually goes away but not this kind. Below is a link to an album I made of my face and the acne spots. The acne you see in the pics is probably the best it has been in a long time but I have spells where it gets better then all of a sudden it gets worse than ever.

If anyone has ever had similar acne please help me and tell me what you did to rid this stuff away. Right now i am up for any treatment or anything no matter the side affects. I just want this stuff gone.

or you wouldnt because of his acne…i always say that its not always about the looks, i continue to pray that my acne on my back will go away

Chest and back acne can be such a pain! I often don’t get to wear the clothes I want because I have to hide my bacne. How on earth do celebs have such flawless skin when they bare their backs and chests in designer gowns? Does anyone know their secret?

I realized that in the past, whenever my appetite disappears due to emotional overload (sometimes weeks at a time) and I don’t really eat… my acne goes away. My skin clears up and looks healthier. It must be your diet, you say? The thing is I eat pretty healthily overall. No white flours or refined anything, except candy. I always eat candy. I’ve always (and still think) that my acne is primarily due to hormonal imbalances, but without health insurance to help fix that, do you think sugar is the culprit?

How come pimple disappear when we dont touch or pop it? and where does it go to?
Isnt it better to pop a pimple since if we keep it there dosent it just go back in and another one forms?
Does your acne go when you period comes?like regularly?
Is it possible for period to become irregular after you 2nd period?
Does the coming of pimple mean acne is going to go away soon?
Should i try another product because i have been using the same product for 5 months its neutrogena advanced kit thing?
Tnks for answering the question

I’m 25 and I have acne. I’ve tried Proactive and that dried up my face so bad I had really irritated patches of dry red skin AND I broke out more. I’ve tried prescriptions and non-prescriptions does anyone know of good product or tricks that I can use to get flawless skin before my Fall 08 wedding?

I had the mirena inserted on 4-7 during my cycle. It was quick and painful. I bled for about 2 days and the cycle ended as it should have. On 4-28 I experienced the worse cramps ever and recieved my cylce again. I am still on as I type this message on 5-7-08. I thought that things were going to get shorter and lighter. I never had a problem with my cycle or bleeding before. This isn’t convient for me at all. My husband is about frustrated with this whole thing and no sex. i have scheduled to have it removed in 2 weeks. My symptoms right now is bleeding, mood swings, acne (nasty breakouts) and anxiety. I want my body back and my life back. Has anyone had the same mirena experiences or had their mirena removed. Any feedback would be helpful. What is your Mirena story?
