im sitting here crying over my skin, please help...?

Question

2 days ago i went to the doctor to see if she would perscibe something for my acne. its usually very mild but right around my period it flares up badly. unfortunately when she saw my my skin was clear so she didnt think i needed anything. today i got my period and boom! i broke out, picked at it and now its a mess. im pretty fair skinned and now my entire forhead is red. this is a huge shot to my self esteem and its never been this bad. someone tell me what to do!

Answer 1

It's hormonal acne, which is very common for a lot of women during their menstrual cycle. If you go to a dermatologist and explain that you breakout during your period, he/she will probably give you a cream to use.

Picking or popping should be avoided as it can lead to scarring.

When you have these breakouts try not to let it stress you out too much, because stress can make it worse. Try relaxing and take deep breaths.

Also, certain cleansers and moisturizers can add more harm than good. Make sure to use something mild, since your acne is usually mild. A cleanser that is fragrance-free, dye-free, and chemical-free may be more beneficial than a classic ance wash. A light weight, oil-free moisturizer is best for ance prone skin as well. - http://www.dermadoctor.com/product.asp?productid=606&AID=140606

Clue: we don't pick our face. Proactive is expensive unless you can afford it, of course, but if you faithfully wash with Clean and Clear morning and night (without scrubbing ) you may see some results in 1 or 2 weeks. Nothing is instant. Remember, your facial skin is delicate!! Treat it gently and keep trying even if it seems like a long time.

Facials are what we do for skin maintenance atleast once a every 3months. For regular hygiene do steam regularly. Don't poke or extract your blackheads harshly like there is no tomorrow. i do believe that we have the same, oily to combination skin type, especially around our T-Zone. It is interesting for people to think that avoiding creams can help solve oily skin. But its wrong. You just have to find the right-based cream. Cream and Water-based works best for skin like ours. Veer away from oil based creams during day time, you can use them during the night.

You can best help your skin if you do the 3-step facial regimen: wash, tone and moisturize. Washing helps remove dust that accumulated on the surface of the skin, toning provides additional cleaning as well as it preps the skin by removing dead skin cells that can just block healthy cells' absorption of the third step, the moisturizer.

The key is to be able to find the right product to help you with your problem. I can suggest the brand: Mario Badescu. They have a line of products that really is good for our type of skin, I personally recommend the Enzyme Cleansing Wash, Cucumber Toner and the best HONEY MOISTURIZER. If you use these products, they don't have the same ''stretched-dry-skin" that other products leave. This is often the misconception of people, that dryness and no oil means clean skin. What Mario Badescu does is gently and effectively clean it. Plus they're natural.

For additional cleaning and maintenance on acne, try their DRYING LOTION pink stuff that you put on your pimples which dries it, it stings but the stingy signals that it works. ACNE GEL, which serves as your drying lotion maintenance during day time. To Remove black marks that are left by acne, use their GLYCOLIC WASH and BUFFER LOTION. Check out their line of products online. I dont work for them, its just that they really work and i would like to share it with you.

Kudos to a healthier skin.

Answer 5

oh my goodness i think of you're attractive. no lie. perhaps you have some style of subject, i forgot what this is observed as. something approximately no longer being waiting to make certain something alluring approximately your self. you are able to would desire to look it up for greater documents. in my view i think of that your unfavorable outlook would be a self friendly prophecy and via you asserting which you're no longer alluring you suspect it and settle for it. you have been to beauticians so why no longer have your hair achieved and have a sprint make over if this is on your funds. tell your self on a daily basis interior the replicate which you're amazing whether you do not have self belief it. that would desire to offer help to. attempt and think of effective. no undesirable strategies allowed.

Answer 6

Awe...thats sad, but, a prescription probably would not help..unless it was a birth control prescription...you may want to see a gynecologist...depending on your age, it may be your body getting used to hormones or something that can be corected...see a dr. to know for sure...try not having chocolate or greasy food about a week befor and through your period...that may help.

Answer 7

for now, just get an over-the-counter cream or face wash at CVS or whatever pharmacy you go to. call your doctor and try to schedule another appointment ASAP.
don't worry too much about it. EVERYONE breaks out at some point or another. you're not alone :]

Answer 8

first of all don't pick!! use a mild cleanser like cetaphil (sp?)
my daughter has sensitive skin and the derm told her nothing with perfumes, ex-dove for sensitive skin & the cetaphil. oh, and never put your hands on your face unless you wash them first.
good luck.
