Question 1

i have bad ance what can i do i even have hard kind of bumps in my inner thighs do you know what could be the cause im depressed about it?

Accepted Answer

Unusual location: I think you should see a dermatologist or your primary care doctor.  It is not common to have acne on your inner thighs.

Question 2

i have been taking birth control because i have a cyst problem and it is making me breaking out really bad. i never breakout & now my ance is bad  ?

Accepted Answer

Unusual reaction: It is unusual to have an increase in acne with oral contraceptives however it is not impossible.  Oral contraceptives are commonly used to treat acne.  I would be curious to know if you are developing any other symptoms that can be associated with elevated androgen levels  (like testosterone).  Those symptoms would include increased hair growth where you would not expect to find it on a female.  You might need to have hormone levels checked.  Switching to a less androgenic pill might help also.

Question 3

is yogurt bad for acne?

Accepted Answer

ACNE: Yogurt in not bad for acne. It has a lot of calcium instead of drinking milk for those with lactose intolerance.

Question 4

what's good for bad acne?

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist helps: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel or cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel or cream such as clindamycin. If more help is needed, retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel can be used with or instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline can be used also. If acne is quite severe, a dermatologist can help more.

Question 5

how come i have such bad acne?

Accepted Answer

We often don't know: If you're a female, you may have excess male hormones. If you're male, there's no explaining. All acne is manageable, usually by your primary care physician. It's not related to lifestyle or hygiene. Hope you are successfully treated.

Question 6

what can i use for bad facial acne?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide: Benzoyl peroxide is over the counter and in recent studies for some people can work by itself.  Give it some time before giving up on it but if your acne is really bad you will probably need to see the dr for a prescription for retinoids as they work best together and would be the next step.

Question 7

why would my little baby have bad acne?

Accepted Answer

New oil glands: At about 3-4 weeks, babies develop their oil glands, and for the next few months, some of them are prone to acne like teenagers. It's normal. It's usually gone by the first birthday, or you can ask your pediatrician whether a topical agent might be appropriate.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Adult acne: Adult acne can occur due to certain medications such as hormone replacement therapy/ birth control pills and steroids.  Also, hormone fluctuations that occur around the time of menopause can cause outbreaks as well.

Question 10

can eating bad have an impact on your acne?

No: I was surprised too but the best science shows no link. Lifetime bad eating habits can cost you your enjoyment of life, and end it early, that's even worse than acne. Why not get with your physician and ask for help with both areas?
