Day 74 is worse than ever. Im excited to ask and hopefully get an answer.. So Ive had hundreds of these little bumps all over my forehead, Ive treated my forehead for everything. But nothing, until 74 days ago I started Retin A! But my progress is only getting worse. I saw that I need to wait 6 months for results, I dont know how much longer I can stand this?!? What should I do? P.s Im using .1% p.p.s why does baby zincilfax cream help shrink the comedonal acne bumps?
I was prescribed Retin A last August for comedones. They cleared up, but for the past week, the comedones (or what I think are comedones) have returned very intensely. I am still using the Retin-A so I am not sure why I have these bumps. They're in between my eye brows, on my eyelids, under my eyes, beside my nose, down my cheeks and upper lip.
I started topical Tretionoin 0.025% 4 weeks ago. At first I started 3x a week, then 2x. I went through the purging stage and by the 3rd week, I've been using it every night already, and almost 95% of my comedones are gone. But now at the 4th week mark, they're starting to come back. They're tiny but definity plenty. Possibly an extra 40% came back. Is this possible and what should I do?
Nothing works to get rid of my closed comedones. Please help me . I am 25 years old girl. Live in Delhi (India). Is using (retin-a micro) or (Paula's Choice BHA products) really helful for me?
I never had a problem with my skin until about 1 year ago. I was having some hormonal issues and my face became covered in closed comedones (no inflammatory acne). The Dr prescribed Aczone in the morning and Tretinoin at night about 6 mos ago. My face has cleared up significantly, but he didn't give me any guidance on how to use it. I have been using it along with a 2% Salicylic Acid and Cetaphil Acne Wash. Would only using Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, the medications and Cera Ve moisturizer be ok?
