Question: Question about adult acne/treatment etc?
(Posted by: alleyoop on 2010-03-05 05:43:15)
About 8 months ago, we had a death in the family...very stressful and I had a horrible breakout...pimples everywhere on my face, and I'm talking everywhere. I attributed it to stress and eventually they went down but "evolved" into this very strange patch of what I can only assume is cystic acne...sort of like a rash which will not respond to any sort of topical treatment I have tried. I have another patch forming, and also some on my neck along with random "normal" pimples elsewhere. When I wake up in the morning, the patches are noticeable in the morning, but they are "flat" and don't really hurt. By mid day, they hurt when touched and are more inflamed and bumpy. I can't get into the dermatologist for another 2 months...any ideas on what could have caused this? I'm pushing 30 and have no history of acne problems ever. Is this hormonal or triggered by an unknown allergy to something....and what will likely be the first treatment for it? I'm not a vain person but I'm pained to admit I am becoming very self conscious about it. So far it hasn't developed into open sores/pustules etc... |
