Acne that just wont go
Hi everyone…I really need your advice!
Im sufferin from moderate acne, and its over my face. I’ve tried
proactiv, but after using it for a few weeks, the bumps just got
larger. Then I tried a medicated sulphur soap, yes it helped
minimized the bumps, but my skin got so dry and flaky.
Now am back with using an anti-bacterial scrub (Pond’s).
However, with using it, after the old ones disappear, new ones grow.
I really need help on this! Im 22 years old. My name’s Tristan. Im a
professional now, and this condition is breaking me down.
I realize to check a dermatologist by next month, but my worry would
be financial. Definitely, I would need to have a good budget for that.
Please please I really need your help! What should I do to clear my
face?
Thanks in advance!

Tristan,
I had a really nasty skin condition (blocked pores, acne, swollen face,
bright red, itchy, stinging etc) and was diagnosed with sub type 2 rosacea.
Nothing prescribed worked to clear or calm it and most products made it
worse.
After 4 years of hell (and I looked like hell) I tried Tea Tree Oil cream
(Thursday Plantation). Woke up the next morning and the inflammation was
gone. I’ve been clear since and just use the cream as maintenance to prevent
it happening again.
Tea Tree is a natural and very powerful antiseptic. I also always use a good
exfoliator so that my pores don’t become blocked and if it’s true that
scrubs spread bacteria, then it must be that the TT cream prevents this from
happening.
As you’re a young male, your acne is probably hormonal and will eventually
clear up with time, but maybe the TT cream will help to control the acne at
this stage (it may not??)
Just thought I’d mention it to you as it just might help you out.
(Don’t use 100% tea tree oil - it’s a bit harsh and drying).
Good luck Tristan,
Be careful using chemicals for your acne - it would be a shame to harm and
damage your body to get rid of your acne.

My sister was pregnant last year and up until July of this year and
when she started on xango which has anti-acne xanthones in it her
pregnancy acne went away and hasn’t come back. It is however very
expensive and maybe the tree stuff will be better? Good Luck!!

If you’re in USA I think Tea Tree Cream ia available at the Vitamin Shoppe
or you can order it online. Just search for Thursday Plantation and go
through the products till you find Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic Cream (that’s if
you’re interested to try it).
All the Best,
Jo.

Wash face with any type of acne scrub, then dry. After this, lightly apply
white vinegar to your face. Do it 3 times a day. I don’t know about everybody,
but it cleared my acne up about 90%. Another thing is sun. When im out in
the sun a lot, I never get any acne.

Thanks for the tip - my skin also clears up in the Sun so hopfully it will work!

Hi there I have just a simple solution for acne. Believe me I know, I’ve
suffered from acne for 3 yrs. and it was no beatiful experience.
I tried various treatments as Proactv,Dermafina,Mederma,Reversion, but didn’t
have the results they promised. I was so disappointed that I decided to out grow
the problem. (wrong) treat acne while you can. I’ve came upon wonderful products
that are effective and cheap. Try the Dermaclear from www.dermaclear.com its
super cheap. Also try internal treatments which will clear your body from the
nasty unconfortable acne.
www.zenmed.com, www.dermapure.com, www.herbs4cure.com this last option is the
cheapest treatment for internal chinese body detoxification. Try it.
dunno though where to find the tea tree cream…prbbly in derm shops perhaps.
again, thanks…!!
