Adult acne cure

melancholly

i spent a year doing kinesiology.... fixed my stomach and improved my skin too, but didn't 'fix' it..... i can't even begin to explain what 'i've tried everything' means lol

I can sympathise with all of you. I am 30 this year and still suffer from acne mainly on my back. This time of year is always the worst for me as there is no way I can wear summer tops as I am covered in horrible scars. Even if my acne eventually goes I will still look bad as the scars will always be there. I have also tried numerous things including omitting things from my diet (which made no difference what so ever). Mine is mainly hormonal I think as it always gets worse at time of month. Also stress makes it worse. I am currently back on dianette which I really hope will do the trick.

I'm hoping Zineryt will start clearing it up... then I'm going to put bio-oil on every day for a hundred years and maybe I'll see some improvement before I'm dead and past caring what I look like from behind

i eat beans usually 3 nights a week

Listen to what Cordain has to say about beans
If you bothered to download and read the links I provide you would have seen Cordain's evidence to support his view that acne is a condition of western culture's diet and lifestyle.

With 174 scientific references, The Dietary Cure for Acne clearly explains the ultimate causes of acne, and details a dietary program that will begin to clear up your skin within 30 days or less.


Adopt a Paleo type diet, and the vitamin D status that daily full body sun exposure would have achieved in Paleo man, and you will see why I am so enthusiastic about ensuring people feel as mentally and physically well as I now do.

Once you understand how sun exposure to skin not only raises Vitamin D but also upregulates antimicrobial peptides that work as a natural antibiotic you may begin to understand why I am so insistent people consider the research evidence. It is worth your trying to get a copy of This paper that explains how 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3), the active form of vitamin D, is a major regulator of the expression of the cationic antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin, not only in monocytes but also in epidermal keratinocytes. The involvement of cathelicidin in wound healing and skin diseases as diverse as psoriasis, rosacea, and atopic dermatitis may create new opportunities for the use of vitamin D in dermatology.

yawn at ted

i have beans for the sake of my IBS as it happens and i really don't need some patronising guy who has read a few websites telling me how i can fix a problem i have had since the age of 8 with a few small changes.

if you had bothered to read my posts you would realise that your comments are so insensitive that they are actually insulting to anyone who really suffers with acne, particularly those of us who seem to have it linked to our hormones.

Has anyone tried bio oil on their scars as I was thinking of trying it too. It will probably work out very expensive though as it is for the whole of my back.

I used Bio Oil on my stretchmarks, didnt really work, but Ive heard other people have had great results with it!

So it's clear you are still unaware of the role of vitamin d aren't you.
You just haven't sussed it's role as a hormone.
You think it's fine to insult me and dismiss my posts as rubbish when you simply cannot find one shred of evidence to dispute any of the facts I post.
If you believe Cordain is wrong then show me the evidence to disprove his theory.

vitamin D does not regulate a woman's mentrual cycle and it is those hormones which cause the skin to breakout once a month - hence regulation of them through the pill helps.

just go away you nasty little man - you have no idea what it's like to have this problem and yet you still feel the need to push for vitamin D to be a panacea (autism, cancer, acne etc etc). just get a life and stop shoving this down people's throats in such a forceful insensitive and smug manner. you're not a dermatologist (and in fact you have no formal medical training) so please just back off (and with my formal biochemisty and physiology training i don't need some obsessed nutter on the internet trying to tell me about basic human endocrinology).


anyway, as far as bio oil goes, i haven't found it any good either - i think it's meant to be better for raised scars, if that makes sense and mine (all over my front - boo!) aren't. i also tried some plaster type things from boots (they weren't exactly plasters but they were meant to be left on the skin to reduce scars), but i didn't notice any improvement with them either.
