I have the same issue.
Mostly caused by high blood sugar, high fat diet, stress.
What help me is exercise, green tea, and bitter melon supplement
But they're just temporary, once I slip back to bad habit, acne will spring up.
What's this treatment that you got called?
If it works for you, maybe I should give it a try -
@cho-uc I eat precisely 25-30 grams of sugar per day, as afaik brain cannot function on ketone bodies alone. I consume no dairy products, as diary was linked to acne.
- isotretinoin — bleeding, irritated lips, negligent effect on acne
- benzoylperoxid topical — no significant remission after one month.
I did laser pore reduction treatment yesterday, effects or lack thereof should be observed once skin grows back. Should be effective combined with sebaceous glands photoreduction therapy that will basically destroy them, so sebum is not produced in quantities that oxidize in comedones appearing as blackheads.
Genetics play a huge role in acne. Still, proper laser therapy (instead of buying useless facial care products that claim to reduce acne) should be effective, as bumps and blackheads are impossible without sebum, no matter the genes. People don't have blackheads on their heels, because there are no sebaceous glands there. -
@jaylord you can if you wash your face with chlorhexidine every 1.5 hours
I was so annoyed by my acne over the past few years that today I went and got the entire area of my facial skin blasted with laser. Now, a several microns thin veneer, containing all that ugly pore openings, is removed.
Isotretinoin, benzoylperoxid, all failed. But I'm not afraid of trying newer methods. Now, serums will be used to grow new skin differently than it might have grown back on its own.
When it grows back, another laser will be used to destroy sebaceous glands. Blackheads and bumps will be physically impossible. A new skin. Even. Glowing. Artificial. Absolutely flawless, absolutely perfect. What a nice reflection of my vision on every thing I make.
When god was sitting in its room, chewing on a donut and designing the world we live in, he never thought much of humans. He got bored and went for a smoke with other gods of other worlds. Little did he know, there was a knock on his door, and a consequential rush of anxiety in realization that it was no fellow god friend, but a human. A human of the generation that figured out Theory of Everything, CRISPR and immortality. Desperate, dirty apes dared to trick silicon sand into thinking, and now they're there, not to talk, but to kill him, a privileged astral plane kid who fell short of those apes who figured everything out on their own.
Disease is natural. Death is natural.
Eternal things are artificial.
