I Need Help For My FACE by Amonface: 10:38am On Feb 06, 2019
Hi guys, I am a regular here on NL. I decided to create a new moniker, too shy to post this on my main.
I have been battling with acne well over 5 years now. At first, it was little just few pops on the cheeks and forehead.

2 years ago, it got worse like real terrible, big pimples(cyst) started popping up, coupled with black spots from previous pimples. After various running here and there, different types of creams, lots of antibiotics, it got better.

Sometime last year, August 3rd to be precise I was able to see a Dermatologist at HARVEY Road, Yaba ( LUTH extension ) and I was prescribed
1) Doxycycline
2) Retin A
3) Benzoyl Peroxide
4) SebaMed Clear face Soap.
Alas, I thought after using these I will be able to snap pictures for the gram, LOL.
Here i am, after consuming a whole pack of Doxycycline and finishing the creams as prescribed I still have pimples and my face is still rough. I usually avoid looking at mirrors so as not to think about it, I can't be facing some self esteem shit.

Here are my issues.
1) My Face is Oiily
2) My pores are somewhat big
3) Dark spots
4) Rough face
5) Occasional pops of pimples

What I do regularly
I avoid sweating as much as I can, I wash my face regularly at Night, I sleep on clean clothes, I avoid eating oily foods, I use a cleanser.

What I want
I want the pimples to stop coming
Treat my face and have a smooth face

So nairalanders, doctors in the house
Who can recommend a Dermatologist, a solution or anything I can do to get what I want.
I have been considering Accutane, but it's quite costly and it's emphasized to take with Doctor's prescription.
I can upload pictures, if you permit

1. For your pores you can use baking soda paste
for how to make your baking soda paste, see below..I saw this on wikihow and it works for me

Mix equal parts baking soda and warm water (2 tablespoons each) into a paste.
Using a circular motion, massage paste into pores gently for about 30 seconds.
Rinse off using cool water.
Use this regimen as part of your normal face-washing routine, every night, for 5 to 7 days. After a week of use, reduce regimen to 3 to 5 times per week

2. For your pimples you can try Neomedrol ( I used some years back and it helped) but now am currently using this herbal cream and it works for me

Really scared of these DIY methods because of the after effects

I used Neo Medrol back then, regular customer
It doesn't prevent new pimples from resurfacing and it leaves black spots behind

How do we help you when we can't see your face?
Re: I Need Help For My FACE by Gloriouscrown: 12:57pm On Feb 06, 2019
Hi! try to get E45 cream, not lotion...it's lanolin based and should give you a smooth and supple feel to your skin. You can use a nice liquid soap like palm olive. then patiently wait, you shouldn't overload your skin. rubbing honey after your bath for some minutes would give you a smooth skin texture.

HTH!

Don't be scared of diy, some cases like this, that is what will help you.
I think u need to detox both your system and face,maybe too much toxins is making u break out and resistant to all the remedies
Try apple cider vinegar and bentonite clay on your face, also read up on how to detox your system. you never can tell
Activated charcoal also help alot with acne

OP, looking at your photos, your acne is a combination of hormones and environmental factors.

* Start doing the following two:
~Drinking lemon water to clean your system.
~Doing oil cleansing to clean your face.

* Doxycycline, Retin-A, and Benzoyl Peroxide work differently for people, if at all. I've more to say about these but lemme stop here. Just follow the two tips above and your face will be clear. No joke!

* For someone with acne-prone skin, using heavy creams, drying soaps and cleansers on your face will clog your pores and dehydrate your skin respectively, causing more acne. Be wary.
What's lemon water, lemon juice or soaking lemon in water?
And how can I do oil cleansing
Pls don't keep mum on those drugs
Enlighten us

Hope you don't scrub your face with sponge. Use fresh tomatoes to clean your face twice daily. Just cut open and use to clean. Drink Three glasses of water first thing in the morning. Don't prick the face. Remove your mind.

SOD CREAM (Superoxide Dismutase) is the most powerful enzyme produced by our body.

��It is a powerful anti-oxidant that scavenges free radicals from our body.

��As we age, S.O.D.'s ability to perform this important function is reduced. S.O.D. regulates collagen and elastin formation to keep skin strong, smooth, and supple.

��S.O.D Cream with Vitamins A & E has been found to have a tremendous effect on the replacement of this vital, naturally occurring enzyme.

��S.O.D. Cream with Vitamins A & E supports:

�the rebuilding process with skin oxidation,
�reduces facial wrinkles,
�reduces scar tissue, �heals burns,
� lightens dark skin spots
�It protects from harmful UV rays from the sun. Includes twist-lock pump, pimples and black spots.

�A powerful anti-oxidant that helps to reduce free radical oxidative damage and promotes cell reproduction of the skin tissues

The testimonies of this cream is amazing. DISTRIBUTORS NEEDED NATIONWIDE
