where do i get this miracle stuff from???

Im gonna die!

Wednesday, February 19th, 2003

I am cracking up here. This is too
funny….LOL…anyway, it is weird for me because I get these big ol’
cysts on my right cheek. Hey, I just had an idea, maybe
they are on that cheek because I sleep on that
side….ummm!!! Never thought about that. <br><br>I heard that if
you change your diet and exercise the sweat helps
your skin shed it’s dead skin cells. I don’t know if
it is true, but we will see since I have joined a
gym and will be a gym rat!!<br><br>I’ll let you know
the results…by the way, where do I get zinc
from…I want some of that stuff if it is working for
others.

Whats up everyone?

To everone who is wondering about Zinc. I have
read that in one of my doctors remedies books. They
said Vitamin A works too. And so does tea tree
oil…which by the way is not something that you should take
orally.

Thoughts & Ideas

Karyn, you sound a bit like me. Although I have
spent a lot of money on OTC stuff I haven’t spent that
much time in the clinic. It seems that the only time
my face is beautiful is when I am pregnant. My skin
glows and is healthy and the scars begin to fade and
not one zit appears. Then after the little babe is
born I go through a period of clear skin and then
months later the cysts and everything just crops back
up. I can’t stand it. It makes me sick to even look
at myself sometimes. What am I supposed to do? I am
tired of attending my little pity parties…

whiteheads on the face…

I used oxy pads once…and stridex pads and
noxzema pads…they seemed to make my face very tight and
dry…zapped me of all moisture. So, I had this tight face
with a lot of shine because my face begin to
overproduce oil….

acne and sunscreen

Monday, February 17th, 2003

they say that it doens’t affect the way the
medicine works because it is absorbed into the skin. But,
I believe that it does because when i use sunscreen
my face gets worse…so I have questions about the
bp working….I don’t know, the doctors are supposed
to know best.

pro-active…

Monday, February 17th, 2003

Man, pro-active sounds good. I just posted and
asked if anyone has used it. If you decide to try it
post your experiences. <br><br>I used tetracyline and
it did not work for me. What is wrong with
me…????….LOL<br><br>How long does the results last after you stop taking
the med you are on now…

Hi, I am 29 years old and soon to be 30. I have
suffered with acne since my teen years. And what a
discouragement to even get out of the bed and look in the
mirror. I have literally tried most everything over the
counter and some from the derm. Some products I have
tried from the derm…Tetracyclin…benzoyl
peroxide…some brown scratchy face soap none of which helped me
any. Now I am back at the derm and I am picking up a
prescription today for Erythromycin…oral…I don’t know if
that is going to help. Some things I have tried over
the counter…phisoderm, neutrogena, basis, oil of
olay, alpah hydroxy, clearasil, noxzema, stridex, you
name it I have probably used it over the years. And
none have worked. I am even now taking the pill, ortho
tri-cyclen….it is supposed to help clear up acne. But it isn’t
(more…)

club i feel a bit more alright about acne. i guess
there are people with acne problems worse than mine -

weekends in front of my computer or puttin my mind on
soccer and running. i just wanna ask do oxy pads work?
i’m one of those people who get sucked into ads.

world,<br><br>jeremy
