Vanessa – Ok, so you’ve seen the infomercials with folks saying they had skin like yours and did not get results from a dermatologist they were looking for — hmm… But, have you gotten the results you are looking for with what you have tried? It doesn’t sound like it! If you had a headache, and you tried aspirin, and Tylenol, and panadol, and Advil, and Excedrin and anything and everything you saw advertised on TV or home remedies friends suggested, and you still had a headache — would you go finally go to the doctor for relief? Acne is really no different. You can never CURE it, per se, but a board certified dermatologist that specializes in acne can really help you get it under control — you’ll look better and feel better. Here’s a website that can help you find a lot of good info about acne and how to treat it, as well as find a good dermatologist: http://www.realself.com/find Get a consultation — you’ve got nothing to lose but the acne! Good luck!

Thank you Shannon! I just send you an e-mail. It was a long journey through 130 pages of reviews, but it was lots of fun! I appreciate the time and work that went into writing all these reviews- before I always assumed that most blogs are only a year or two old. Now I see that some, like yours, have a long history. I wish you success and many more blogs to come
Thanks again….

you could mix aspirin with honey, but honey broke me out…. so just add aspirin to another scrub you already use

Good night Vanessa. For your skin- try aspiring mask. i have acne too – not as bad as your but they keep coming… Mix aspirin tablets in water (couple is enough) with your favorite cleanser. My skin cleared up in a month- u just gotta keep doing it every day. It did help me

You know I should do that. I have insurance but never thought it would cover. I will take your advise into consideration. I have seen the infomertiols on tv and there are people with skin like mine that said they did not get the help they were looking for from their dermentologist.

I just read your post about your acne, Vanessa and I can relate! I had severe acne from the time I was 12 until I was about 25…and still, more than 20 years later, have breakouts. The good news is that us oily-skinned folks tend to look younger, longer… But, I know that’s not what you want to hear, right now…

You didn’t mention it, but have you seen a dermatologist? That was the only thing that really worked for me…anti-biotics and salicylic acid and retin A and Rx washes (actually, I used to was my face with a Rx dandruff shampoo that really worked! — I wish I could remember the name…) and that was like 30 years ago — I’m sure treatments are even more advanced, today. Most insurance will cover dermatology visits and prescriptions for acne. Please, consult a dermatologist if you have not already done so — and if you have, I’d recommend seeking out a different one! Over-the-counter products (ProActive, etc) haven’t worked for you – see a professional. You and your skin deserve it! Good luck.
