What do I do about my skin? |
|
It's ridiculous - I'm 48 and I've got acne - I think.
I've always had a few stray blackheads in my hairline and never thought much about it. Suddenly my whole forehead broke out in hundreds of whiteheads - they're big and they're deep and they hurt like hell and if I squeeze them (yes I know i'm not supposed to) they've got a chunk of white crystal in them bigger than a grain of sugar.
They're also on my chest.
How do I get rid of this?

You might want to see a dermatologist. |
|
Do you wear hats? That can cause the hairline acne. Try changing the type of soap/shampoo that you use too.

2. Dermatologist or Pro Activ |
|
Pro Activ gets a lot of attention now.
A dermatologist might help you decide if its an allergy of some kind. New Soap?

Things are pretty whacked out at work and I'm also working up to five hours a day on the election.

...and I get occasional acne breakouts. It's a side-effect of the testosterone shots I get monthly to treat a testosterone deficiency which was making the pain in my back worse.

I'm 32 and my skin was getting worse than it ever was. I was so hopeless but then I discovered proactiv. I've been using it almost 2 months and my face has never looked better. Not a single new pimple and the others have faded. It's a lil pricey but so worth it.

8. Topical yeast infection. Treat it with an unscented cream typically used |
|
to treat female oriented yeast infections.
I wish I was kidding. It's not acne.
My doctor still thinks I'm nuts, but it works.
The only country in the world that sells diflucan as a GEL is italy, go figure.
It'll cost you about $4 to find out I'm right.
