frustrated beyond frustrated
Hey…I just joined this group today. As my subject indicates, I am
beyond frustration. I skimmed some of the more recent posts and
apologize if my plea has been covered somewhat recently.
I need an acne solution for extremely sensitive skin that is
inexpensive. Does one even exist? I am 35 and have had acne since
puberty. My father still breaks out occasionally and my
grandmother, as I’ve been told, had acne til the day she passed away.
As a teenager, I took oral antibiotics and they worked quite well.
I can no longer take them because I’m very prone to yeast
infections. Last fall, I started seeing a dermatologist and the
first drug he put me on was Duac. It worked well, but it was very
harsh on my skin if I missed a couple days. It also is just too
expensive. (darn prescription tier plans…grrrr) Just last week,
he sent home samples of Rosac. I put it on once….never again. I
really don’t want to smell like the Sulfur Pots in Yellowstone
Park. Besides, today, I looked up that drug on the tier plan and
it’s not even listed.
I was just at the ProActiv site, but it advises against using it if
you have sensitive skin. I’m guessing if the Duac turns me beet-red
for 3 days, then I probably can’t use proactiv either.
I appreciate any suggestions.
