(please have a read) i have spots but i dont understand why because?!


Question: (please have a read) i have spots but i dont understand why because!?
Hi
im 17 years old and male if this helps : )

Lets Start!.!.!.

I wash my face with soap for oily skin 2 times a day!.
I dont eat reely any fatty foods (crisps, chips)
I realised that sugary sweets and milk things like that made them kick off again!.
So now i have a mixed diet of meat veg fruit and fiber AND lots of fresh water!.

Every week my spots go away and i love it!.
THEN they come back even worse than the week before!. (Red, swolen and they have a stinging pain in them but no head)!. they are only on my cheeks though!.

Does anyone know why this is
or have any information on how to help prevent this happening!?

I am also at the doctors tonight about them is there anything i could ask for there!?

Any help would be much apreciated

Thanks

Answers:
Ok - here is my advice!.

Soap -- you might be using something that is drying out your skin too much!. If your skin is too dry then your skin produces more oil to hydrate it which can get clogged in pores along with bacteria and cause acne!. So, I always recommend switching to a mild ph balanced cleanser - my favorite is Cetaphil!. Don't use a bar soap - can have bacteria growing on it that you then transfer to your body/face!.

You also might want to add something - either a toner or a once daily cleanser - that has benzoyl peroxide in it -- it kills bacteria living on the surface of the skin before it can get caught in pores!. These products can be drying though so start with just using once a day and see how it goes!.

I would try that to begin with!. However!.!.!.!.

Since you are going to the doctor - you might ask him/her about anything else that helps!? At least start to have the conversation with your doctor!. There are also medicine that increase skin turnover which helps keeps the pores from getting clogged; there is also topical and oral antibiotics to kill the bacteria!. And if nothing else works (this would be after about 6 months - because it can take weeks for acne to clear) have the doctor refer you to a dermatologist!.

There is a medication called acutane that is very effective!. However, it is the medication of last resort - for very specific types of acne!. It has some risk factors and you would need monthly blood tests and monthly doctors appointments but it is very effective!.

It doesn't sound like you are at the accutane point yet - there are a lot of options before gettign there!.

Switch the soap to start with and add the benzoyl peroxide and talk to your doctor!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You seem to be doing all the right things!. Unfortunately hormones are probably the cause of the spots and the only thing that will get rid of them is time!. Keep up what you are doing except maybe try an antibacterial facewash if yours isnt one already!. If its acne the doctor will probably be able to recommend a cream that will help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you are allergic to something in the soap or maybe a food!.An allergy to laundry detergent even!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You sound like you are doing all the right things!. The only thing I can think of is to ask your doctor to refer you to a dermatologist (skin specialist)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
