    Default Help! Acne problems.....

    I recently switched birth controls off from one of those that helped keep clear skin. Well now Im having better results with the new BC, but I now at 27 have an Acne problem and olily skin. The big problem is the pimples arent on my face, those I could cover up. They are on my butt of all places. My doctor prescribed me tetrcycline to help, but Im still having issues. Any ideas on how to get rid of these stupid things? Ive never had pimples, not even in my teen years, this is driving me crazy, pluss I want to audition at a few clubs this week. So ladies HELP!!!

    It's just one of those things you have to wait out. Your hormones need to settle down a bit.

    It may take a month or so (that's what it took for me) but if you like the BC- it may be worth it.


    Ask your doctor about spironolactone because the acne you are experiencing is hormone based- that may be better then tetracycline which predominantly treats bacterial infections.

    If you wait it out and it doesn't get better- You may want to look into another type of BC. How long have you been on the tetracycline?

    I had a little issue like yours a few weeks ago... I tried proactive and it actually worked. I had a breakout all over my face and chest. I was BAD. I was totally clear in under a week. I used the proactive plus moisture.

    Ive been on the BC for a few months, but on the Tetrcycline for a bit over a month. I may call my family doc and ask about the other med. I'll ask my dad too, he is a pharmacist. Will using any over the counter stuff help temporarily?

    How certain is the diagnosis of acne? The presentation is rather unusual, appearing only on your buttocks and for the first time in your late 20s. There are certainly other dermatological conditions that superficially resemble acne and are more likely in that area, and a primary care doc might not be all that good at recognizing them (dermatology depends a lot on visual identification). If the diagnosis is less than certain, it might be helpful to see a dermatologist.

    this is the best thing for acne. Rub sugar on it after you wash the area with whatever you wash your face with. No one is willing to try it for some reason. It works better than anything else I have EVER tried, clearing up the area in like, two days.
    for some reason people are really adverse to the idea and don't try it. They're losing out, I guess, since it is ultra cheap and works better than anything else I have tried (and I have tried a lot). I do it every time I wash my face and chest and only ever break out if I lapse for a few days.

    I really hope you try it. You have nothing to lose and you probably already have sugar in your house.

    Rub it in for how long? Do you rinse off? Dry sugar, or added with water?
