Answer 1

Those are all good answers above. Also, you could try improving your diet or identifying dietary allergies, since problems with that can sometimes come out in the skin. Another possibility is rosacea, which matches some of the symptoms you describe.

Don't let the doctors just pass it off as "acne." I would recommend against using acne creams and cortisone creams, or just watch your skin's reaction when you use them, as they can cause more harm than good. I would recommend seeking the advice of a homeopath or naturopath, because homeopathic medicine is useful for skin problems.

Wear clothes that compliment your body shape. You probably think makeup looks silly on you because you're not using the right kind. Use makeup specifically designed for your skin tone, hair color, etc. Get cute glasses. About your eczema, I have it too. What you should try is a treatment I used for years. Put a washcloth in really warm water. Put a huge glob of Cordizone on the irritated spot, then put the warm rag on it and let it sit there for a few minutes. Repeat that a few times. If you do it like 3 times a week, your skin will improve. Also, a way you could be prettier is by trying to be more confident. Instead of looking at all of the negative things about yourself, look at the positive. If you're confident about who you are, other people will notice too. Good luck and merry Christmas. =]

Go to boots and buy some unperfumed cleanser and a rich face cream. If that doesnt work you may be allergic to chemicals in products that you are using on your skin. Go to a health food shop or organic shop and buy a cleanser free of chemicals and a rich moisteriser. You can apply the moisterser on the dry patches several times a day. Also try a gentle face scrub to get rid of the dry flakeness.

Answer 5

I had similar problems and my doctor said it's not adult acne but a kind of dermatitis. He prescribed a hydrocortisone cream and the improvement was rapid and dramatic. I had different doctors give me all sorts of nasty creams first though and they just made matters worse. Talk to a different doc and ask if you can try a mild steroid cream. You can't use it for prolonged periods but if you manage to get on top of things it might really help. Once my skin improved and wasn't painful I found a gentle exfoliator helped too. Good Luck.

I couldnt help but read your post and think to myself that I was right where you were 6 months and seems like 1000 wrinkles ago.

I went through the exact same thing. I tried various products and did tons of research online before I found Oil of Olay was basically giving their product away for free.

All I had to do was answer a few auestions, They are a well known national name brand for facial and skin care, everyone knows Oil of Olay.

And I am telling you this Oil of Olay Regenerist works and it made a believer out of me.

I posted the link below for you to click and check out. This stuff works and believe me - for a few minutes of your time and no cost to you, you owe it to yourself to try and all you would lose is a few minutes of your time!

Good Luck and keep the faith, you will get younger looking skin with this product and this stuff helped me achieve my dreams as well!

Your Friend,

Are you sure you do not have rosacea? It affects those facial areas you mentioned. It also itches when untreated especially when overheated. Are you fair skinned or of Celtic/English background? This may be something to consider. Do not use scented soaps. Use unscented Dove. I found Walgreens very helpful
on recommending some facial products. Hope this may help.

Answer 8

try and get a triamcinolone acetonide cream. a doc perscribed it for my daughter, had similar symptoms, worked like a charm. you may have an allergy to what ever soap you're using. try a benadril anti itch cream. and then a coco butter stick it looks like a big tube of chapstick helps the chapped thing. for the stress do some yoga, deep breaths. find something that helps to calm you. start a journal, sort and expel some of you thoughts/stresses on paper.
