Hi! I posted a response to someone else a couple days ago and I think it could help you as well. I started breaking out in PD around my nose and mouth and had cystic acne pop up on my cheeks. I started this protocal and it's improved greatly. I hope it helps you too! God Bless!
First I would start with an all natural lye soap or pine tar soap to deeply cleanse and wash the oil away. Get a cottonball and dip it in a solution of one half ACV and one half H202. Rub this into the skin in a circular motion, making sure to saturate the whole face. Let air dry and then apply oil free moisturizer with a couple drops of tea tree oil. Lastly, use a sulfur acne mask, like end-zit or proactive, and dab this on every pimple and zit you see. Leave on all night.
Also, I would invest in some Salicyclic Acid peels. You can buy it online.. Just google under "skin labratories" and it should bring the site up. I use the 20% strength peel once a week for a couple weeks and than take a break for a month or so, and then do it again, and so on and so on. I think I pay $18 and the bottle lasts about 3-4 months or so.
I still break out slightly but it's not nearly as bad, and it's much more managable. An added bonus is that the scars are fading nicely and I have much smoother skin.Replied by Llfiles (West Linn, Oregon) on 03/04/2011
Help for severe acne:
I do have a suggestion. Years ago I was diagnosed with acne on my back. Never could wear strappy clothes.
Do a colon cleanse along with a anti-parasite program. There are many out there but I recommend Colonix. I have no affiliation, it is simply the easiest and most effective.
You really do not have to change your diet much(of course, you would want to eliminate sugar, refined carbs and chemically laden foods, eat lots of fresh organic fruits and vegetables, lean meats). Drink lots of water and green tea.
Keep us posted. Good luck, I know what a burden it is to have skin problems.Replied by Granny Laura (Waco, Tx Usa) on 03/05/2011
This may not be all that much help, depending on where you live. My oldest son bad acne on his back during high school. Then one spring the choir he belonged to went to the coast for contests. He spent as much time in 2-3 days in the salt water as he could as he loves water sports, wearing a white tee shirt to keep his back from burning. When he got home his back peeled some (though not burned) and he never had acne on his back again, his face was much improved. That was cheap and effective!
