Help!
Do not ever, ever pick on your acne! I did that to my face, and now I
have serious ice-pick type scar all over my face even though I got
over my acne-prone stage of my life(now, I’m 31) I did light peeling
and some kind of chemistry medical treatments(Five times! and
consumed huge amout of money!, too) for scars but the result isn’t
that great. I guess after 25, skin’s ability to regenerate goes
downhill.
If only your nose and forhead are only oily place in your face, hot
steam them and apply strong soap only to that area. And in my case,
I use nose pack like once a week. But you should ice-pack your nose
after nose pack or hot steaming. Open pores are not pretty, and it’s
even more prone to blackhead.
And you know, acne will not pass just because you get old. I learned
that by painful experience. I had acne from my adolescence, starged
lightly and gotten severe. And how severe would it be? Some
saleswoman even told me my face would rot eventually if I didn’t use
their products. That might be the extremest approach from derma
product saleswoman, but you can imagine my skin state then. I got
over acne only because I found right dermatologist. (Note that I
didn’t use the boogy derma product of saleswoman from hell!)
But still I have occasional acne. I’m doing B5 treatment for
maintenance measure. For me, B5 is very helpful, not only for acne,
but general life energy and my occasional forgetfulness.
Ooopse. this is too long, I’m afraid I got carried away. I hope you
find your right medicine eventually, but before that, it’s only
continuous battle! Be patient and be happy!
