"- fiber product like psyllium husks it`s eliminated my acne..."

thought i would share. Upon taking these http://www - broad spectrum probiotics and http://www. - fiber product like Psyllium husks it`s eliminated my acne. No stringent routine, no chemicals and abrasive cleansers. I wish i had known this sooner.

Q. There is nothing i haven't tried to rid my acne, can you think of anything?
i have had acne for since i was 14 i am now 20. i can't crack this stupid code! i have literally tried everything. dermatology doctors have given me every single anti biotic, i have used every single topical ointment and nothing helped. i have tried stopping everything also. this so far is working out best. product wise i would say i am very smart. i can actually read the back of the bottle and know exactly what the ingredients are. i am very gentle with my skin and don't expect quick fixes. i have also been on birth control and an iud. i had to remove the iud because it very slowly produced my skin to have acne. i don't wear make-up anymore witch is a little bit boring but i just want my face to look nice for once! it makes me sad that in the past 6 years i have never looked in the mirror and said. my skin looks great today! oh last thing i tried was skin treatments and they worked for a little and the woman gave me soooo much good information. so for right now this is what i am doing and it is semi working. - drinking alot of water - taking probiotics - no coffee - eating as organic as possible - using cetaphil bar soap ( a bit drying i am switching to the cleanser ) - lightly moisturize with coconut oil - use a face brush very gentle once or twice a week sorry for the novel ... now can you help!

"Get you clear..."

As a dermatologist, I"m sure that I, or one of my peer group, could (and should) get you clear. However, without seeing the type of acne that you have (yes, there are different types, requiring different regimens), and knowing what had been prescribed for you, I can't really say that you were on a good regimen or not. And, remember, in dermatology, as in all fields of endeavor, some are better than others. So, if your dermatologist didn't get you cleaned up, it might be time to change.

Q. Questions on my acne story. plz read!?
im a 18 year old male. its been almost a year since my horrible breakout and for the last 3 months i have seen improvement. its so typical for ppl to use proactive and all that acne treatment but i didnt want that. i tried to go to the roots of my problem which i still dnt know. probably junkfood? sleeping? so i went to the doctor and he gave me probiotics and digestive enzymes to rid the toxins in my body through pooing. simple enough, its been 2 months since that precription and noticed improvement but not complete heal!!! everyday i sleep at 10 or 11 and wake up at 8, eat fruits, drink a lot of water and absolutely no junkfood. so my questions are: 1. is the acne fueled by my hormone lvl? 2. is my cleanser not strong enough? 3. do i honestly need an acne treatment? 4. will i just have to depend on time? 5. has this ever happened to u and survived?

"I have bad acne too..."

I have bad acne too... But I got a prescription called (something-A) I don't remember. Starts with an R. Retina-A? I think that's it. K. But it sounds like you have acne from your parents. It was probably passed on from genes. Did your parents have acne when they were your age? If so, then that's where your probably got it from. I'm really sorry about that though.. I know how you feel. BTW, I can't say the prescription has or hasn't worked for me. I just got it last week. :/

Q. I have red blotchy skin only on my face with flakes on my forehead. how can i get rid of my red/blotchy face?
i have an extremely healthy diet and i drink a lot of water. i don't use soap or fragrant products because my face is super sensitive. my skin is redder a day after eating cheese or drinking coffee. i also developed a rash-like appearance when taking omega 3 supplements. i've tried probiotics and eating kale, and both caused red rash-like symptoms. i don't get it! i think it's a mixture of acne, rosacea, and seb derm. it seems like the redness will never go away. the odd part is, the redness/bumpiness issue is only on my face (mainly cheeks, forehead) and nowhere else on my body. i have very pale skin, and thus, it's very annoying and bothersome. it feels like my skin is raised and irritated. is there anyone that has had this problem and can give any advice for getting rid of the redness? it's not really capillaries, just redness with some acne bumps. about four months ago, i gave up using cetaphil. i can't use any commercial products on my face because my skin is too sensitive. products i've tried with no success: aquaphor, jojoba oil, castor oil, proactive, erythromycin, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, apple cider vinegar (internal & external), egg yolk, green tea, black tea, cerave, cetaphil, various moisturizers, vaseline, olive oil, clindamycin. some of these products weren't as irritating as others, but none of them really helped with the redness. i took bc pills for 6 months (one time) and my face cleared up dramatically...yet that's not an option for long-term. i'm running out of options here. is there something missing from my diet? i take a multivitamin and calcium pills daily. help please, if possible.

One thing you haven't tried....not in the list anyway. Aloe Vera gel. It will work wonders. It almost clears the redness out over night. Apply it just before going to bed and when you wake up in the morn (after washing your face).
