Honey, you need to see a dermatologist. Make an appointment. In the meantime, check this website.

Treatment at home can help reduce acne flare-ups.

Wash your face (or other affected skin) gently once or twice a day.
Do not squeeze pimples, because that often leads to infections, worse acne, and scars.
Use water-based skin care products that gently clean your skin. Avoid products such as milky cleansers, cold creams, lipsticks, and lip glosses that contain oils.
Use nonprescription medicated creams, soaps, lotions, and gels to treat your acne. Always read the label carefully to make sure you are using the product correctly.

I can relate! I have what sounds like a similar problem. It may be eczema. As many have suggested, see a dermatologist to find out about those scarring pimples. A derm can also assit with the removal of those scars. Don't worry, help is just a doctor's visit away!

I have the SAME problem as you!!! I recently got Olay facial scrub and Olay daily moisturizer and my dry patch is no longer there. Also the facial scrub has also helped out my acne. I know it's hard but try all of the different over the counter products before you take drastic measures like pills or expensive products. Good luck and remember you are not alone!

Yikes. I think you should see a dermatologist. First I thought maybe you have combination skin, but if you get acne that doesn't go away for a long time and scars, that is cystic, and unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do about it with over-the-counter treatments. Please see a derm and hopefully they can sort you out before you get any more scars.

You've been giving her hypersensitive reaction remedy WITHOUT consulting a vet first? Yeah you rather must name the vet the next day. You will also be dangerous her immune procedure proper now, certainly if that is an autoimmune disease. If her mom was once identified to have an autoimmune disease she must have not ever been bred, due to the fact it is genetic, so that is surely what your puppy has. But a vet demands to do a dermis scrape and assessments considering not anything is certain through her signs you defined. And PLEASE one day do not self medicate. This can rather have performed alot of harm. I've been there. My puppy has an autoimmune disease and I used prednisone and hypersensitive reaction healing and it simply wrecked havoc on her immune procedure, making it even more difficult to manage her disease. I went to a holistic vet to get their recommendation except my mainstream traditional vet. Working at the side of either one of them I was once competent to heal my puppy, no longer simply suppress the indications with capsules. It's continuously inexpensive to regard a challenge within the commencing earlier than it will get worse.

Consult a dermatologist. Use soaps with no chemicals (such as cetaphil). Use less moisturizer (with no chemicals like cetaphil) on the oily part and use more on the dry part.

Visit a dermatologist... See what he/she perscribes. Or, if seeing a doctor is not an option, I suggest trying ProActiv.
