Q&A: I’m an African American with mild acne that causes discolorations. What can I use?

Question by Ms Awesome: I’m an African American with mild acne that causes discolorations. What can I use?
I used to have acne when I was around 12 but by the time I hit middle school, it was gone. Now I am 22 years old and I keep getting tiny bumps. I use different acne washes but I think I’ve used too many to the point where they have all irritated my skin and it has become sensitive.

Neutrogena Grape fruit Salicylic Acid used to do well now it breaks me out. Basically anything with Salicylic Acid. Currently I use Clean and Clear Benzoyl Peroxide exfoliating scrub which causes my skin irritation. It makes the pimples scab and that turns into marks.

Marks are more so the problem. Even if the pimple goes away, it still leaves a darn mark! and it doesn’t even have to be a severe break out, i get tiny ones spotted .

enclosed are a few photos

I was thinking that I should stop washing my face period but wouldn’t that make it worse? I’ve started to use hydroquinone but I read that mixed with benzoyl peroxide makes it worse. It does appear to have worsen since I’ve started combining the two.

I said that I would do a 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide facial wash
Apply some kinda tropical lightening agent for the discolorations
Oral antibiotics
and some type of moisturizer.

The problem is, I don’t know what to use. Please help me! I feel so “unattractive” with this problem. I used to get complimented on my skin. Now I don’t even want my boyfriend to look at me.
Thanks Leah but no to Ambi. That is the reason I have these problems. I’ve NEVER had irritation this badly BEFORE i started using Ambi products. Ambi is initially what started this.

I have washed my face with Dove soap for the last 6 years and it has worked wonderfully. I usually have oily skin in the morning, but Dove removes all that oil and leaves my face nice and soft. I recommend the Unscented Dove bar. It’s PH balanced so it’s not harmful to the skin. She might also try baby soap.

milk causes more acne/?

Question by Jam L: milk causes more acne/?
anyone support this?
i see some improvement but not all
anyone know what we lose and what we should eat to gain it back?

Best answer:

Answer by What’s Up?
I strongly support this idea because i had first hand experience with this causing me breakouts, one of the reasons milk is so reactive like that is because of the way the cow’s are treated in this highly commercial industry. the milk is unstable in the sense that the cows are treated with hormones, antibiotics, (some trace amounts of those things are found in the milk) and there are many other processes the milk is put through like being pasteurized and homogenized. Test for yourself go buy a half gallon of horizon organic milk and a gallon of the commercial junk and see the difference.

What causes random acne breakouts?

Question by Briahna: What causes random acne breakouts?
I’m 20 years old and I NEVER get acne. Maybe a pimple here or there but i’ve never had a breakout before. The last couple of weeks i’ve been getting patches all over my shoulders and there are acne scars everywhere along the upper half of my back. I’ve been getting some on my face and chest as well. It’s so strange to me because i’m not used to having to deal with anything like this. I haven’t eaten, drank or came in contact with anything different recently so it’s not an allergy based thing. I can’t figure out where they all came from.

Q&A: What causes back acne?

Question by BUNguyenI: What causes back acne?
I am 24, almost 25 and I have been getting some serious back acne for the last couple of years, as well as some on my cheeks near my ears. I don’t understand why I am getting this especially considering I’m done with puberty. I do not remember ever getting this type of acne when I was a teen. Though I did have bad acne as a teen, it was mostly on my nose, forehead, and chin, never on my cheeks or back. What is going on? Am I going through a second puberty or something?
I wash my face and back vigorously with regular ivory bar soap every day. Maybe it’s the wrong type of soap?

It isn’t quite puberty. It’s all the oil in your body with the dirt or filth. Depending on what your job is, it can be common or you don’t clean enough thoroughly.
