Acne Steroid Treatment

Acne Steroid Treatment
what would be best treatment for my acne scars?

this is my cheek:

http://yfrog.com/j01114101512j

the lighter acne scars are from 2004-2006, and the darker ones are from spring 2010 when i had to take a steroid medication that caused acne. my skin never breaks out other than those 2 years and last spring so i know its fine to treat it. the other cheek is the same, and i have a tiny bit on my chin. some are pitted and some are just dark marks.

on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being no scars and 10 being crater face, how bad are mine? please be honest but not cruel, ive already been insecure enough about them. ps the picture is without makeup.

telling me a number will help me figure out what type of treatment to think of questions about before going to the dermatologist next week, i know only a dermatologist can help me figure out the best but i want to do my research first

Your scars are not bad, maybe a 2. Here are a few ideas.

Apply cocoa butter to the scar. Studies have shown that regular application of cocoa butter helps to fade scars more rapidly than some other creams on the market. Also, look for creams that contain naturally healing ingredients, such as shea butter, jojoba oil, castor oil and rose hip oil.

Try an over-the-counter medicine such as Mederma, which is specially designed to treat scars. (Any cream that is designed to get rid of scars will work.) Healing time generally takes up to six months before any significant improvement will occur.

Talk to your dermatologist about Retin-A topical creams. These creams have been shown to greatly reduce the appearance of scars. Retinal creams encourages cell turnover. The new cells then take the place of older, scarred cells. Retin-A requires a prescription.

Start dermabrasion treatments. A licensed professional will use a dermabrasion device to treat the scars. Tiny crystals on the end of the device essentially buff away the top layers of your skin. With repeated treatments, you will see a noticeable improvement. Expect your skin to be a bit red and irritated after each treatment.

And have a look here. You will find dozens of recipes for homemade skin care products. You will find several that could help you with this. One thing you could try is a simple dermabrasion. Mix a little sugar with some olive oil and rub it into your skin. It should help.

Initial improvement was followed by exacerbations of the rash, which could be controlled only with continued use of these topical medications….

Cystic Acne Breakout

What is Severe Cystic Acne and How Do You Treat It?

One of the most difficult forms of acne that anyone could have is called severe cystic acne. This type of acne is very severe, the roots are very deep, and it is usually the most unsightly of all types of breakouts. What is severe cystic acne and how do you treat it?

All forms of acne are collections of dirt, oil and bacteria that get trapped in enlarged pores or hair follicles and which are not allowed to escape through regular rinsing or washing of the face because the skin forms a small barrier over these. Everyone has dirt and oil on their face, but not everyone gets acne and certainly most don’t have severe cystic acne. The problem with acne is not just that collection of dirt and oil but that barrier of skin cells as well, which shouldn’t form this way over that opening. When that barrier forms that collection grows into a small bump that we call a pimple.

Address the dirt and oil is part of treating any case of acne, including severe cystic acne. But how is this condition different than regular acne and what makes it so much worse?

Most who have acne have a very small collection of dirt and oil that gets trapped in that opening, but those with severe cystic acne have bacteria that go much deeper than that. It’s not just in the pore or hair follicle but goes many layers under the skin and then continues to grow or “breed.”

Remember that bacteria feed on things and when they do they grow and grown until either their feeding source is stopped or something comes along to kill them. With severe cystic acne these bacteria go so deep in the skin that they get nourishment constantly, like a plant with very deep roots that doesn’t die easily. severe cystic acne is much like that; because it goes so deep under the skin it continues to grow and breed.

Addressing severe cystic acne is usually a bit different than addressing other forms of acne. With most forms of acne a simple topical ointment and good routine of cleaning can keep breakouts to a minimum. With severe cystic acne you may need to see a doctor to get a prescription for antibiotics, which address the bacteria at their source. With an oral antibiotic you are killing bacteria from within and don’t need to try and fight it on the surface, which is usually ineffective with severe cystic acne.

A dermatologist can also do much to address the scars that are common with severe cystic acne. Because these breakouts are so deep in the skin it’s not unusual for a sufferer to have scars that are very deep as well, but there are many options available today to correct these and most are relatively mild and painless and are done on an outpatient basis. So while severe cystic acne may be difficult and even downright traumatizing to some people, it doesn’t really need to be. It can be addressed and treated.

The Acne Cure Book Review
Chris Gibson — Acne free in 3 days . . . What does that involve?

I was talking to my brother today, and I asked him what would happen if I drunk nothing but water, and consumed nothing but fruit for a week. He was interested in the idea, so I googled it and came up with this 3 day cure thing.
Apparently it involves some kind of detox, but I would like more information about it. Do you just drink water and eat apples for three days? I could do that. I am willing to try anything, my acne sucks.

So, if anyone has read it, what do you do?

(I would buy the book but I have no money at the moment and I have been reading mixed reviews)

see your dermotologist
