I recently had an outbreak of what i thought was acne, however could it possibly have been...?

Question

Could it have possibly been dry pimples? I moisturise every day and during the time before it outbreaked i didnt so could have the skin gone in shock of being dryer than usual and broke out in pimples. The reason i think this is its never happened before, the 'acne' has since left and not come back after i now moisturise daily, and it was very symmetrical pimples in exactly the same places as eachother on the other side of the face.

Are dry pimples a heard of condition?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as "dry pimples".  The reason for the break out is Probably...the fact that the skin was dryer than normal - knew it - and created Extra oils to make up for the lack of moisture, and the cells that were "pimple ready" took on that oil and got clogged - thus a pimple.  Stress also plays a part in your skin and to a large extent what we eat....
