Question 1

i have some acne at my chest region and my arm is it related to some diseases?? whats the best treatment to get rid of them

Accepted Answer

Acne: is very common and can occur at any age but more so
in adolescence and young adulthood
first try a product like 10% benzoyl peroxide  2x/day
if not effective after a month then you should see your doctor

Question 2

how do you get rid of acne and acne scars. i also have blackheads on my arms and pimples on my back and neck too. i need a treatment that works fast?

Accepted Answer

Fractional Laser: Fractional laser can reduce the appearance of acne scars.  This should be performed by a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Question 3

i am suffering from acne at my back & upper arms. i face regular ache at the back due to this & when these involve middle section arnd spine, pain radiates everywhere. took 4 weeks doxycycline treatment & use b. peroxide soap,not cured. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

: Acne for those that are prone usually is not cured but could be controlled. If there is improvement with doxycycline, you could look for other products but probably of higher concentration like salicylic or azelaic acid to control it. Antiseptic soap body wash may also help in changing the skin flora to reduce the severity and frequency of acne rash and pain. Stress management is important too.

Question 4

i got acne on my forehead and i don't have the money to get laser treatment so is there home remedies that work?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide: Laser treatment is for extreme cases. You owe it to yourself to start using topical benzyl peroxide as you can tolerate. If this hasn't cleared you in two weeks, find a free clinical where a sympathetic physician will give you an inexpensive script for something like tetracycline, which addded to the BP should be sufficient.

Question 5

i often break out in pimples either on back or arms, it can last between 30min to 3hours before clearing. what is the cause and treatment?

Accepted Answer

Pimples don't: usually come and go like that. They may be hives, or a reaction to heat or cold with inflammation of the glands in your skin. I would recommend having your doctor check them. If you can't get to the doctor while they are still present, try taking a photo and bring it with you to your appointment.

Question 6

i have tiny red bumps like pimples all over my upper arm and sides of stomach and it spreading. dr told it is miliaria. his treatment didn't help.

Accepted Answer

What is it?: Miliaria responds to removing the cause. One fooler is pityriasis rubra. Another is acne mechanics.  There a few other mimics. I hope you find the explanation.

Question 7

acne home remedy?

Accepted Answer

Sulfur granules: Fowler's acne formula calls for the use of flower of sulfur granules topically on skin.  Can use with weak Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 2.5 % for pimples and salicylic acid for papules.  Acne is diabetes of the skin. Eat healthy, get good sleep, exercise, and reduce stress, especially stress over the appearance of skin. Acne may be a awake up call to make changes to enhance over all health.

Question 8

what is the best acne home remedy?

Accepted Answer

OTC Rx: Benzoyl peroxide is the only over-the-counter product that is recognized as effective for acne; a few folks have reported success with tea-tree oil. You'd do well to add some prescription rx in consultation with your physician; topical clindmycin is a good choice. Dermatologists have stronger stuff. This is the 21st century & you have a right to be acne-free if you wish.

Question 9

can there be a real home remedy for acne?

Accepted Answer

No: None of the folk treatments will touch it. Topical benzoyl peroxide is the only over-the-counter remedy that's got a chance. All acne can be managed nowadays -- this is the 21st century -- but the medicines are rightly only available by your physician's prescription. Good luck.

Question 10

what is the best home remedy for bad acne?

Accepted Answer

There's none: This is the 21st century and you've earned the right to something that works. Over-the-counter stuff barely touches bad acne. Even in our horribly dysfunctional health care system, your physician will be able to supply you with a choice of rx's that will almost certainly help. Life's hard enough without bad acne. Good luck.
