Maybe u have a bit of eczema?? As you know...lotions don't work so my best advise is....go to your pharmacy and let the pharmacist take a look and see wat he recommends. Good Luck....and remember "Cheer Up at least in winter u can cover up if u feel uncomfortable"....

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

Are you scratching your skin severely when this happens? You could be making it worse when you do this. But this does sound like Atopic Dermatitis. It's an allergy type of reaction accompanied by something such as dry skin.

In order to have this diagnosed properly- a dermatologist would need to take a small (scraping) sample of your skin and run a few tests on it. You need to (for now) go get an antihistamine ointment like cortaid with moisterizers, keep applying it. Try not to itch your skin. Have your parents take you to a different doctor for another opinion.

I don't know know what the problem with your skin is but I do know that you are NOT useless. If you think no one cares, THINK AGAIN! You may feel useless and discouraged about your problem, we've all been there with something at some time in your lives, but you have a purpose and you are very valuable.

I hope you can find out what the problem is!

No it's not just you, that happens to my hands every winter - try to dress in layers to protect your skin from the cold. I use Aloe Gel when it gets really bad and lotion for very dry skin.

I tired to look up your problem it may be due to a
nutrient yoy may be lacking. I'd go see a different
skin doctor. You're not useless, maybe it's the doctor.
Please go to another skin doctor or ask your school
nurse she may be able to help you. Good luck!

Go see a different doctor make sure he is a dermatologist and if you have a difficult time with english make sure he can speak your language so you can understand what he tells you.
