I am 16 and struggle with moderate acne, I have been using 10% benzoyl peroxide facewash and topical creme and .05 retin-a cream. i usually wash my face 3 times a day, using the benzoyl peroxide topical cream in the morning and afternoon, then the retin-a at night. this process has been pretty successful until about last month when i started noticing redness entirely covering my face. I did some research and learned that benzoyl peroxide can cause this, however i have used this medicine for over 5 months and never seen a problem like this before. i dont know how i am supposed to fix this problem, someone please help!!!!

I’m 80. The last 5-6 yrs when I accidently hit my lower legs with grocery bags or bump into things, at first there appears a red to dark purple coloring then it eventually becomes brown and I’ve been unable to get rid of this discoloring. My legs have vericose veins and about 5 years ago I had a blood clot in my left leg. My sister who is 3 years older than I, have this same problem. Is there a topical cream that will rid me of this discoloring or is there a medication in pill form that will work? My dermatologist precribed a prescriptioned topical cream but so far, the old spots are still there.

Will appreciate any help.

Had Rosacea since senior high. Ever since I've been seeing derm with some success but I always end up coming back, either the product stopped being effective, or product had recieved a ban from the FDA. Also did light therapy session with little improvement. I've used atleast 6 different topical cream just for rosacea, all if not most contain some sort of steroid and other chemicals I am afraid to have on my skin in the long term. My rosacea can get ugly, with not just flushing but also bumps and blemishes. The most difficult part to treat is the ones located under my lower eyelid because using certain topical creams can thin the skin, you know what that means, ladies. September 2008 is when I took a risk. I switched all my skin-care products to all-natural including shaving. Either it was going to get better or worse. It did get better, in 10 minutes saw noticeable result on the mirror! I felt the debris from the roscea just slide away, I can feel it on the tip of my fingers. This natural regimen caught the rosacea at its very early stage before it became full-blown, overnight. Obviously, I am also aware about other conditions that may play a role in causing rosacea to appear. But fast forward to today, combination of getting fever, exposure to wind all day, physical stress made me breakout into a more widesprea area under the lower eye. It seems uncontrollable with the stuff I've been using for more than 6 months. It's as if my rosacea adapted to this new forumala, like a virus mutating into someting else that resist current treatments. I dont know this is happening. I just need to know if someone out there has had any success formulating their own regimen using natural products. I have very sensitive skin and also prone to acne and other skin-related issues like eczema and seborrea. The products that I used for my face: Dessert Essence: Jojoba Oil, Burt's Bees: Tomato Soap, Dessert Essence: Tea Tree oil. For my hair, I use various Burt's Bees hair products, they are 98-100% natural and provided some relief with seborea on the scalp. I could not risk using chemicals that tend to flow over my face as I shower. Again if you found something that works for you that is all-natural skin-care products or have tips on how to deal with rosacea that not commonly found over the Internet, kindly share them.

Alright so my doctor prescribed me Doxycycline which is a pill to take orally once a day, he also gave me clindoxyl which is a topical cream to use every night before bed. The thing I am confused about is the Doxycycline prescription is only for 2 weeks supposedly to knock the acne out quickly and then after the 2 weeks i’m supposed to quit it and just continue with the topical cream. The thing i don’t get is the Doxycycline is supposed to take longer than 2 weeks so I’m confused as to how this is going to help me? The way I see it I’m going to have to put up with the shitty side effects and by the time I start seeing results the prescription will be done, can someone make sense of this for me it is really bugging me.
