I have VERY oily skin and huge pimples underneath my skin
Question Posted Saturday May 9 2015, 7:01 pm
It seems everyday I wake up to more pimples on my face. I change my pillowcase nightly and keep my hair out of my face while sleeping but they continue to show up. Im no where close to my period either. So anyways the medicine I'm taking isnt cutting it... My doctor prescribed me doxycycline and clindamycin gel for the SECOND time. I'm in so much pain unless Im not talking or moving my face. I have deep LARGE cystic acne under my chin, some on my cheeks, and some smaller ones on my chin, forehead, next to my nose, and next to my mouth. I can feel multiple bumps throbbing.
When I wake up my face is greasy and I have a red lump under my skin. Washing my face every hour doesn't help, the oil comes back. I drink plenty of water and I don't have a bad diet. I have tried epiduo, benzaclin, benzoyl peroxide and other prescribed medicine for years. I've also tried clinique, proactiv, neutrogena, every face soap/ lotion etc. Nothing is working for my severe acne and I currently can't afford the dermatologist.
Does anyone have any suggestions for pain control and how to get rid of the oil? Im seriously about to break down and cry
So theres an old recipe for zits you should look it up, its includes honey (like from the store that you add to hot tea) and i THINK baking soda.
its a home made recipe.
what i would do is if all these meds arent working then stop taking them and try some good home remedies. What can happen sometimes is if your washing your face TOO MUCH your body will react and produce MORE oil instead of cutting it down.
Your on the right path to washing your bedding and all that but i'd say youve already used all the prescription meds on the planet so i would try going natural and making some home made stuff.
Honey is anti-microbial, and baking soda cleans gently. (again i THINK its baking soda im not totally sure)
Also finding a good sunscreen for your face would be a good idea, sometimes the sun can upset the skin and make matters worse. so find a light moisturizing sunscreen because after you wash your face your body might think your face is TOO dry and then try to make up for it by AGAIN producing more oil then whats needed.
