Help please! (serious)?

Question

ok, so ive been on acne treatment for months, since like March. Ive been on evoclin foam in the a.m and atralin(tretonin) at night. The first few months were ok, i saw improvement. But in the last 2, there's been no improvement and even got some new pimples. My skin gets really oily and darker during the day; i don't know why. After i workout and then shower, my skin looks the clearest and i notice redness almost exactly about 1 inch below my eyes on both sides. I was wondering if this could be rosacea. I am light brown skin (mix of white and brown) and i just turned 18 last June 25. My skin feels really sensitive,warm, sticky(when i touch my face). Right now i cleansed my face with a very gentle cleanser,still looks darker than what i really am and feels warm and sticky.I always wear sunblock spf 30when i go outside. So i was wondering, could this be rosacea? What could it be? Should i stop using these acne medications immediately? Could it not be realted to these medications and be rosacea? help please, im desperate.

Answer 1

just about all acne creams and such are a waste of money. . . thats just how your skin is. . .you have to deal with it, unless you have the money to go to dermatoligist who can remove them by laser. . .but even then youll still have the same skin and pimples will just come back. so idk what to tell you.

dude, i feel your pain. i have acne too.

but about 4 days ago, my friends mom recommended something for me, cuz i have oily skin too.

you can find these at wal-mart.

okay, the first thing you're gonna need is the neutrogena deep clean cleanser for normal to oily skin. the bottle almost looks like a bottle of soap, and the color of the cleanser is like an orangey yellow.

the next thing you're gonna need is the neutrogena deep clean dual action toner. it comes in a clear bottle and the color of the toner is blue.

the last thing you're gonna need are cotton pads. you cant use cotton balls because all they do is soak up stuff, which isnt what you want.

what you do is wash your face with the cleanser...you could use your hands. next, pat your face dry with a clean towel and put some toner onto a cotton pad. rub the cotton pad on your face gently. it will sting and burn, but its supposed to.

its really good for oily skin cuz it dries it out and closes your pores. and, if you have a really annoying pimple, it dries out the pimple and reduces the size, eventually making it go away faster. but you have to use it every morning and every night, or it won't work as well.

as for the redness, i have no idea, sorry.

You should go to doctor or dermatologist -.- If it's as serious as you say you shouldnt ask the net.
