a nasty trick, but it works!

Thursday, October 23rd, 2003

I have read this in a natural healing book from the library and what happens is
the egg refines your pores. It makes them tighter which makes the acne appear
that it has shrunk some what. <br><br>mom

big cyst…

how long were you on accutane? And why didn’t it
work? the doc said that it usually works in women
especially and he rarely sees a case where it hasn’t unless
the person has a serious bout with cystic acne. And
then he said it may take as long as 6-8 months to
become totally clear.<br><br>mom

I am getting Accutane

Tuesday, October 21st, 2003

well, I thought I was clear from the
erythromycin…but not so…bummer!<br><br>I went to the derm today
and he told me that since all else has failed that I
need to try Accutane. He told me all about the
different side effects. I am wondering if anyone saw
dateline the other night. They were talking about Accutane
being the link to depression and suicide. Though this
hasn’t been proven I am concerned about that.<br><br>I
am also concerned about hair loss. HAs anyone here
experienced hair loss, severe or light…Ummm…lets see what
else he told me…Oh, he recently went to some doctors
meeting in Geneva where they are discussing taking the
drug off of the market. Well…I am wondering if
anyone has had any of these symptoms. And how long did
it take for the med to work…and did yoiu break out
(more…)

when to pop a zit

when to pop a zit

Monday, October 20th, 2003

i posted about this before in the past, but i
will post it again. if you want to pop your acne you
must be careful. to aviod making it look worse you
must get the bacteria/ white part out. so this means
don’t squeeze the first red bump you see. let it say
for a while. once you see a white dot in the middle
of the zit, it is ok to pop it. but like i said make
sure all the white stuff comes out. once the infection
is out the acne will start to get better IMMEDIATLY.
the redness will go away and it will flatten out. on
the other hand, if you try to pop a zit and its not
ready the bacteria/ infection will be pushed further
under the skin and it will look worse.<br><br>bryan

WHAT WORKS FOR MILD ACNE?????/

Monday, October 20th, 2003

Hie , what if you mess you zits ? Would it appear
some dark patches ? Well , I have this small scar on
my left face which is dark ( kinda black purpish )
Actually , it wasn’t a zit , it was a pimple or something
with big bum … it could be popped out and I did .
Afterthat , left a red scar . A few days ago , I felt an
itch on that part , then I did what people used to do
, scracth . Unfortunately , it’s become WORSE…a
red spot became dark purpish spot . What should I do
? Darn…I forgot to ask my derm last week .
Anybody had this experience before ? And any meds or
psychical treatment ?

the bumps you can’t pop are most likely cysts.
don’t mess with them or they will end up looking worse
because while you attempt to pop them and fail…you
actually push the infection deeper into the skin and make
it appear worse than it should. this is a reason
doctors tell you not to pop zits.<br> there is NO DRUG
that will ABSOLUTLY keep zits away FOR 3 MONTHS.
NOTHING CAN GUARENTEE that.<br> everyones’ skin is
different. what works for one person may not work for
another. i would make an appointment with a dermatologist
(skin specialist). he or she will be able to help you
the best. if retin-a micro worked before…ask for it
again!!!<br><br>bryan

well retin-a micro is fairly new, maybe that’s why derms still prescribe
retin-a. plus retin-a works great for some people and maybe they ask their derm
for it.<br><br>bryan
