question for acne suffers who share my pain.?
I am 21 and I do not have horriable acne but at any given time I can break out with between one-ten pimples on my face, it got really bad when I went on tri-sprintec birthcontrol… the only thing that clears my face is yaz birth control however, I couldn’t afford it this month it is like 70 dollars at my local rite aid and I think 65 at wal-mart pharm. Yaz stops my skin from getting oily, I have tried cheaper birthcontrol and the only one is yaz… ortho-tri, trisprintec, and the like ten others I tried that I can’t remember the name don’t do it. I know there is a blood pressure med called spiro for short that was accidently discovered to cure hormonal acne aswell, however I don’t want to be stuck on pills to treat my acne. I know its hormonal, and I have noticed that since I couldn’t get yaz this month my oily skin came right back. Perhaps I have a hormonal or potassium imbalance? Does anyone have any experiance with this particular type of acne and birthcontrol?
I naturally have low blood pressure, my grandfather passed it down to my mother and she passed it down to me. When I am getting ready to start my peroid if I stand up my eyes go black and I cant see and I get a tingly feeling like when your foots asleep. On a very rare ocassion it will make the tips of my fingers tingle aswell.
I also have a non-related health issure with hearing… I try to keep it a secret but I have suffered hearing damage from having cronic ear infections and ruptured ear drums. I am young and I don’t want many people to know because I guess I am vain and want to be seen as healthy n pretty lol.
P.s for my acne I use clean and clear foam face wash, and the old moisterizer not the new formula. This is the only was n moisterizer I use, I’d recomend it, its gentle and doesn’t irritate my skin.

yes i had the same as you (and scott above) from 15 to 26,i could tell that it wasn’t hormonal.maybe 1 or 2 sometimes 4 or 5 and sometimes real big deep spots,i had enough of doc’s &derm’s,they couldn’t do,anything(they just didn’t have a clue) and i sure wasn’t going to accept spots for the rest of my life.
So accept that it’s not hormonal or your spots think it’s a nice sunny day i’ll think i’ll pop outside for a few day’s.I was determined to find out why me and not everyone else and i found the answer,took about 3 years,but know i have a clear complexion,a few scars but not to bad and i have long forgotten the days i felt a ping and a new spot emerging,i new every spot i had personally and rubbing cream on a rounded spot was horrible and looking in the mirror every morning and about every hour in the evening was SOOO depressing.
So what did i do,was it the washing powder,no,the soap,no,water,no,the creams making it worse,no but it didn’t help,the sun.or not the sun,no,air conditioning,exhaust fumes,microwave leaking,no,dirt hidden under my finger nails,no,RIGHT maybe it’s something i’m eating,can’t be the derm and doc so don’t be stupid,wrong,
I’M ALLERGIC TO A FOOD COLORING&FLAVOURING INGREDIENT and i can prove it,when i don’t eat certain foods i don’t get spot’s when i do,i get spots(took 3 years but i’m there)
So over the next 20 years of my life,occasional out break,i know for definite what foods to avoid,e-mail me,profile page,if you want or believe the derm&doc and enjoy many many years company with your spots and the thousand of spots ready to invade,watch this space(your face.
I was told I would grow out of my acne. I’m 45 and still waiting. For me, Ivory soap is the answer. Just use your hands. No washcloth or scatchy sponge thing. Good luck.
