Diet?
OK , been awhile since I posted here. I was just wondering if anyone
has had success in making diet changes?
I am mean REAL results.
Also what are people using to wash their faces with that is
supposedly good for making all the oily/flaky/pimples go away.
I keep re reading the same posts about elidel, protoptic, ACV and the
like. Do these things do ANYTHING at all for pimples? I am just so
frigging confused as to what I am supposed to use.
Sincerely frustrated,
Amon

Hi,
Cutanix (www.cutanix.com) is beta testing a 2 % salicylic combined
with DRL lotion, it is targeted for seb derm and rosacea with acne,
pastules. Send an e-mail to Cutanix and ask to be a beta tester.
Other that that, accutane will cure your acne if your dermatologist
thinks it is bad enough. I have heard some dermatologists even take
accutane for their own seb derm. It kills off sebum production.
I have little faith in extreme diets. Eat normally healthy, omega 3
is always good. Sugar and trans fats not too good. But it wont cure
acne.
Best wishes

Nothing that has helped sd. I have been eating better in general and
I think it has helped with pimples and stuff. Eat
well…vegetables/fruits, non saturated fat, etc. Little sugar if
any at all.
I use oil of olay foaming face wash. I was using twice a day, but
now have reduced as I think it is drying out the skin too much, but
in general it has been FAR less drying than anything else and hasn’t
caused pimples, unlike just about any other cleanser I’ve used.
All that stuff works on pimples, but might be overkill for that
purpose…elidel and protopic are not prescribed for acne. ACV can
work…but I’ve also heard initially some folks get small ones for a
brief period before their skin evens out.
