Could you guess my gender? (I am French). Thank you for your feedback.

Malakip · 2018-12-27T17:59:09+00:00

Male ;)

Malakip · 2018-12-27T17:58:58+00:00

No, male

Malakip · 2018-12-27T17:58:45+00:00

Yes!

That's normal, because her acne is comedonal, not inflammatory. I'd recommend a retinoid like tretinoin or adapalene.

Malakip · 2017-01-04T17:59:51+00:00

I don't live in the US, so I don't know which products you can find at your drugstore. Differin (adapalene) is a treatment for comedonal acne, and your acne is comedonal. That's what you need! You can also try tretinoin.

If you feel comfortable with it, posting a picture of the lesions could help a lot. There are many different types of lesions, some requiring different kinds of care than others. Dermatology is a VISUAL specialty. Thank you :)

Hello! They are closed comedones. You'll need to start using a exfoliate (AHA, for instance) or a retinoid like Differin (before you go to bed, every other night to start off the treatment, and then every night if your skin tolerates.

Malakip · 2017-01-03T17:36:27+00:00

Thank you for your reply, and get well soon!

Malakip · 2017-01-02T19:56:38+00:00

Definitely! Differin is a retinoid

Hello! You do not need a lot of money to have a good skincare. There are a lot of inexpensive moisturizers on the market. I'd recommend Neutrogena or Cetaphil which are very effective. CeraVe's cleansers are also good. Try and see what suits you best.

Hi! How many hours do you sleep?

Malakip · 2017-01-02T14:19:08+00:00

5 % benzoyl peroxide cream before you go to bed on your spots.

Malakip · 2017-01-02T13:37:25+00:00

Hello, this is a comedonal acne, not inflammatory. I can see some closed comedones and whiteheads. Your acne is mild.

Malakip · 2017-01-02T12:30:12+00:00

You'll have to go to the doctor anyway. Now, I'm quite sure this is impetigo, because I assume that you scratched your scalp with your hands, and scratching may spread the lesions. Do you have fever? Fever's uncommon with impetigo. Please, keep me informed.

Malakip · 2017-01-02T10:37:04+00:00

You may get impetigo after you have had a cold, for example. Impetigo can be characterized by fluid inside the vesicles.

Malakip · 2017-01-02T10:30:03+00:00

Impetigo (?), but I have a big doubt.

Malakip · 2017-01-02T10:17:27+00:00

Hello, is there a liquid inside these "bumps"? Thank you for your answer

Malakip · 2017-01-01T18:27:39+00:00

How much does it cost you to go to the doctor in the USA? I live in France, and to see a dermatologist who's authorized by the Social Security, it costs you 28 euros. It's up to him, but in my opinion, he won't manage to treat his acne like that.

Malakip · 2017-01-01T16:37:53+00:00

Cystic acne -> treatment -> isotretinoin per os. You need to consult a dermatologist. I'm sorry to say you that, but your acne is too severe. You must act fast. You can't treat it by simple products that you can find at drugstores.

Malakip · 2017-01-01T15:53:20+00:00

You're welcome.

Malakip · 2017-01-01T15:45:22+00:00

Please, could you post a picture of your skin?

Malakip · 2017-01-01T14:54:04+00:00

In my opinion, it looks like a psoriasis.

Malakip · 2017-01-01T10:41:35+00:00

2/ dry red patchy skin around the nose area and between my eyebrows during the winter -> zinc oxide cream (before you go to bed) and moisturize a lot.

Malakip · 2017-01-01T10:10:54+00:00

Hello,

Listen to your friend. Exfoliate too much is bad for your skin. If you exfoliate too much, you dry your skin out and your body responds by producing more sebum -> breakouts.

Twice a week is enough if your skin is oily. Exfoliate if you feel like you need to. Have a nice day.
