Marko answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 6:22 am: Hey,
Yes your period or stress is most likely connected to your break out. I suggest you start a strict regime here are the fabulous acne treatments you can use to do it:
Step one-
Cleanser, Cetaphil:
Of course this will help your skin in more ways than one after all it is not only 100% soap free (which means it wont dry out your skin) and dermatoligists recommened it too their patients who to suffer from out breaks.
Step two-
Astringant, garnier pure toner:
This toner works a dream not only dose it help reduce bltchiness caused by those blemishes but it helps to dry them out too.
Step three-
Moisturiser, clean and clear oil free moisturiser:
These days it is virtually impossible to find an oil free moisturiser that wont clog up your pores. This one is however excellent and it combines those two vital important factors into a nifty little cream.
Step four-
Blemish zipper, Benzyol peroxide:
Once again this product is recommended by dermatoligists. This cream helps reduce the redness, decrease the pufiness, and leave your skin looking fresh.

Whenever I have a lot of stress, my face explodes with zits. Especially during finals and midterms. I eve got a few at the start of school. The zit like bumps are also normal. I get them as well. They are ingrown zits, usually, and will go away. It's nothing detrimental, they are just growing a different direction, and are less noticable. If they aren't that, they are a type of rash that I have on my arm, back, and legs. It usually remains for about 5 years, and does nothing, until it disappears...
Your period may have something to do with it due to the stress that you feel worrying about it?

Now I'm not trying to say you're a dirty person, which i'm 100% sure you're not, but that acne on your legs means you just need to wash better. Or it could just be that your skin is super sensitive. Instead of using one of those yummy perfumed body washes, which i know are tempting, opt for neutrogena because that will treat your skin, getting rid of those "acnelike" bumps.
AdviceAbby answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 9:24 pm: I am not sure if it has to do with your period. The breaking out you can fix by using Cletaphil. You can buy this a Wal-Mart or any other store. If you shave your legs it could be razor burn. Good luck leave me a message! [ AdviceAbby's advice column | Ask AdviceAbby A Question ]
